Feeds in general, and RSS in particular, are far from dead. But one thing that could kill them quite suddenly is the rise in javascript/etc dependent ostensible "anti-bot" or "anti-dos" MITM services/front-ends.
People deploy these solutions across their entire domain without thinking about it and then suddenly all the feed readers cannot access the feeds. I have about 1800 feeds in my feed reader and if the number of bad default cloudflare deployals keeps increasing at the rate I'm seeing by 2026/27 none of my feeds will be acessible at all.
