The whole "death of RSS" idea seems like a strange perspective. RSS/Atom never went away, and nothing has replaced their use case for syndicating content. To the author's point, it's just that a lot of mass-market consumption of web content for the past decade or so has been on walled-garden platforms that never offered syndication in the first place. But even there, I think the article is overstating things -- it implies that Reddit, HN, Medium, and Substack have only recently begun offering RSS feeds, but these have never not offered RSS feeds (and HN has always had a native top-level article feed, even if the 3rd-party solution is more extensive). Even YouTube has always offered RSS feeds (albeit without enclosures, so they can't be used as podcast feeds -- but Odysee, a web frontend to LBRY which is gaining traction against YouTube does offer feeds with enclosures). I guess this application is a good solution for people who want to follow syndicated content via Mastodon, but it should be pointed out that the traditional model of using standalone RSS readers never went away -- when Google Reader was shut down, the void was quickly filled with a variety of solutions like TinyTinyRSS, MiniFlux, Feedly, Inoreader, etc. I personally use TinyTinyRSS, with Liferea as a desktop client, as my primary interface to all of the blogs, podcasts, subreddits, and YouTube channels I read, along with aggregators like HN and Lobsters. I've been using this solution for over 10 years now; nothing has ever stopped working and none of the sites ever pulled back from publishing feeds.
