I got the same reply, word for word, for a similar inquiry.

I wish there was an OAuth for RSS, so I could subscribe to private/paid feeds through reader apps I only partially trusted.

I've seen many sites that generate feed URLs with secret token appended as a query parameter. This token only gives an access to the feed, so this as safe as it gets, and requires no special support on reader app part.

I just noticed today that City Lab as part of their move to Bloomberg also doesn't appear to have a working Atom or RSS feed anymore :( I contacted customer support and told them it worked on the old site but now appears to be gone. I've had a surprising amount of success with this on news sites and magazines in the past, so hopefully they respond positively.

Reuters support responded and told me I'd have to pay them if I wanted RSS feeds back, apparently this is some sort of subscription feature now? I dunno, it made no sense. No response from City Lab.

Confirmed: Reuters closed their RSS down. Not a good look, imho.

Hi dang. The feeds are _not_ populating for about 24h now, but any rss readers that fetched the last news from 24h ago will still show the last news from 24h ago (like in the imgur picture). With all my respect, I would agree to change the title to add a question mark, but not to downweight the fact that, intentionally or not, reuters killed their rss feeds for 24h now, and some of us are impacted, and they would lik…

Ok, but the problem is that then this becomes an "is down" story, as in "Reuters' RSS feed is down". Those tend not to be a very high quality category of submission, and it's unlikely that a story with that title would have shot to the front page. Rather it's the sensational they-killed-RSS! aspect of the story that attracted attention, because it ties in with the generic topics of RSS-lamentation and web-nostalgia w…
