What did Google benefit from killing rss? Seems like that would help engagement on the web in general.

  It's a decentralized solution in a world where google wants everything to go through google.

    They could've added a Google-only feed type to Reader and encouraged authors to migrate to it using EEE. This is exactly what they tried to do with Usenet via Google Groups. (Google is now banned from Usenet)

  Subscribing to RSS creates a p2p web over http. It cuts out the middleman. Who is the biggest middleman of the internet?
