RSS is still extremely useful. It may never have been meant for mass adoption like algorithmic feeds, but that is the point: it is the right counterbalance. I want full control of my feeds, and RSS gives me that. With tools like https://docs.rsshub.app https://docs.rsshub.app almost anything can be made RSS-able. I know I am not the average user, but for those who care about their information diets, RSS is essential. One underappreciated aspect: RSS can forward both machine readable and human readable content at the same time. I am experimenting with it for information processing, and I like that you can always peek into the pipes, even mid-stream, to see what is happening. I will be writing more about this at https://writings.alethia.news https://writings.alethia.news (alongside AI, product design, macroeconomic data, and the occasional bit of trivia).
