RSS by its very nature is designed to not be restricted to the "way of presentation and ad earning of the producer".
Producer produces content and RSS syndicates it that can be read by clients IN WHATEVER MANNER OR FORM THEY DESIRE.
That's the whole idea of internet.
Now, you go ahead and lament how this is piracy. Its not. YouTube provides RSS feeds. Same do other platforms so as long as they do, we can do whatever the hell we want with the feed
- kelnos 3y agoBut that's only if the producer wants to provide an RSS feed. While annoying, it's perfectly within their rights not to provide one. > That's the whole idea of internet. I think it's very hard to assert that anything is "the whole idea of the internet". If you want to go back to its roots, the "whole idea of the internet" was to have a reliable military/government communications system in the case of nuclear war. These days the internet means different things for different people, and no one person can credibly assert that any particular purpose is valid or invalid.
- bobmaxup 3y agoThey surely meant the "world wide web", which is often used interchangably, and (to some) incorrectly, with "internet"?
- charcircuit 3y ago>That's the whole idea of internet. No, the idea of the internet is to create a global scale network of computers. >YouTube provides RSS feeds. Which links you to a webpage that includes ads to monetize the video, the RSS feed, and the rest of the site.
- gochi 3y agoThe article highlights several front ends most of which do not rely on the official RSS feeds provided by the service.
