I follow Hacker News through RSS, as well as most webcomics that I follow. There is one webcomic I enjoy, but can't get an RSS feed, because it's on a service similar to WebToons.
I mostly follow Dilbert and Questionable Content. I used to follow Wizard of Id and a few more, but they also lost support for RSS.
When I see articles like this, my reaction is always: when did RSS go away? I have close to 200 sites in my Feedly list, and I have trouble keeping up with all the articles I get from RSS every day. I think that what the author really means is that he misses RSS feeds from Twitter. I don't use Twitter, so from my perspective, RSS is as present and useful as it was 20 years ago.
Douglas Adams, [how to learn to love the internet]: 1. everything that’s already in the world when you’re born is just normal; 2. anything that gets invented between then and before you turn 30 is incredibly exciting and creative and with any luck you can make a career out of it; 3. anything that gets invented after you’re 30 is against the natural order of things and the beginning of the end of civilisation as we kn…
This started happening when I was 14 (~2007) and really started to accelerate after I was 20 (~2013). I don't correlate this with me getting old but more like getting more and more aware of the profiteering, surveillance and bullshit everywhere.

The author paints it as some kind of conspiracy, but the simple truth is that RSS waned in popularity once push notifications became popular and widespread. Every user's RSS reader polling every website for changes every few minutes for all eternity is horribly inefficient and unfeasible to do on most platforms and devices today (especially on mobile). Pub/sub is the clear way forward, but it's just sad that there is…
