  People might want to use RSS to check on your site for updates whether you write it by hand or use some kind of CMS to generate it for you. WordPress was a technical mess before their founder had a psychotic break and their company posted features advocating for business owners to put bait-and-switch AI slop on their websites.

    Maybe <1% of visitors might. They're not worth wasting any time satisfying.

        I forgot where I was writing that. Of course everyone on HN uses RSS.

    That's called a bookmark, which is native to all browsers, while RSS is not.

      Do you think that bookmarks serve the same purpose as a RSS feed?
