#22If you love RSS, embrace Atom 1.0 :) Its the final modern form of RSS.
Why is Atom better?

Yeah, I've been writing software that provides feeds for RSS, but I exclusively use Atom. It's just a better format. It does create ambiguity when using a site like this because I'm not sure if my sites will qualify as having an RSS 2.0 feed or not.

#24Nowadays I see these sites as nothing else but mining grounds for personal profiling by big tech. Nothing can be a cutesy show-off anymore.
Why not for small tech and individuals?
Is there a law or something? :)

#25I love RSS but what I love more than RSS are people who blog about stuff: high concept stuff, day-to-day stuff and just what they did yesterday.
I wish people would blog more like in the old days.

#27Maybe you love being the consumer of RSS feeds, but you certainly wouldn't love being the poor bastard who has to parse them.
Even though it's a simple standard that's been around for decades, there are still many sites which serve their feeds with a subtly wrong format. When something doesn't work, users come knocking on your door saying "it works in X reader but not in yours", so now you have to handle that and contribute to the ever growing list of out of spec edge cases that feed readers need to account for.

#28What sort of punishment should the monopolist google execs who destroyed blogs undergo? A fair punishment might be clawback of all wages and stock options and about five years in a minimum security prison with a permenant felony on their record. I think that's fair.

Small tech and individuals will never be able to take as much advantage of these standards as a multi-billion dollar data center is. 99% of them wouldn't ever even find these feeds

How much money do you need for a class action lawsuit on this?
I think we should take Google to court over destroying blogs and force them to add back RSS support.
