Tangentially on this note, if anyone is interested, I can produce a list of every RSS feed known to the marginalia search crawler. It's a pretty noisy list, but any thing I can do to help the spread, discovery and adoption of RSS I'm happy to help with so just let me know. I a tool in place to export this data to help power the experimental RSS preview feature[1], but haven't had the inspiration to do much with that…

No, I mean: "Google" moment as in what Google originally was. Let me rephrase in edit my original comment to "Google Search" moment. Basically, when Google came on the scene in 1997, it blew away Yahoo Directory. Do I have my dates right? Hahaha :)
RSS if anything is in decline, rather than its ascent, because of the fact that in many ways it offers access to content in a way that diminishes ad views. It's not impossible that it could come back from this state, and indeed, outside of this issue, there's nothing wrong with it as a system, and podcasts make heavy use of it. But it's worth being aware of this headwind.
I mean, like RSS seems like where the web was in 1996 - on the ascent! - waiting for its "Google Search" moment, whereas these types of RSS curations in this product and others like it recently, a little bit like Yahoo Directory!
I've imported most of them into https://app.recessfeed.com/ and found some nice ones to follow through that

No I totally know it's in ascent, that's my point! Haha! :) Hmm, how to express what I'm saying more clearly -- seems it's been missed?

How do you "know" this? Show some proof! RSS has two well-known use cases: news and podcasts. It is fighting a pitched battle against players with deep pockets who want you to consume content where they can monetize it with ads.
Google Reader survived for as long as it did because such a service is incredibly cheap to run. Google only ended it to push people to Google+. Many of the various competing providers that popped up during that period are still around, but I would not say it is flourishing.
This is what Google thinks of RSS:

Note a rise and plateau centered around 2005 and a brief peak in 2013 (when Google killed Reeder).

You can find many RSS feeds, links in my repository https://github.com/rumca-js/Internet-Places-Database/tree/ma... It contains also domain lists, that include tag indicating, if it is personal, or not.
