I was always a huge supporter of RSS and my disappointment was immeasurable when it almost completely died. I've kind of abandoned the hope that it would make a comeback though. The way I see it, there are two major problems:
* XML sucks. Bloated, unpleasant, annoying, slow. There should be a new standard which is slimmer, faster and more pleasant to work with.
* LLM's: they are becoming cheaper and feasible to use AND TRAIN on consumer grade hardware: The type of hardware many of us have at home - a good amount of memory, a large hard drive, a beefy CPU and a beefy GPU(or two). If RSS all of a sudden became widely available across the web, who knows how many people would start using and abusing the feeds and start building some insanely powerful LLM's in their basements. I'm not saying that would be bad, I am all for it. But most people I know would go ballistic if their data was used to build LLMs without their explicit consent. Personally, I'm a huge fan of the WTF license[1] but maybe I'm just weird.
