Good read, but it fizzled at the end.
Creating openness is not good enough. There were business reasons to support every long lasting open technology, and with the dominance of proprietary social media platforms, that business reason (for RSS at least) is dead.
The web opened up e commerce, and modern social media lowered the barrier to entry for online communities.
Its the same problem cryptography has, if its not dead simple and obviously useful don't expect it to stick around (at least at mass appeal)

- pfortuny 13y agoYes, the "fuck you" and the last paragraph are definitely anti-climatic. You do not need such a post to say that. Of course, Larry stated very clearly that if something does not help + then something must disappear...
