Instead of just reacting to the instantly agreeable title, out of curiousity I read the blog post and checked the blogroll the author cites as the cause for him to comment on adding RSS support. It lists 33 blogs. However, out of 33, only 2 of them lack an RSS feed. cdevn and mikebabb. Neither has much content.
Just as importantly, please add a meta tag that links to the RSS or Atom feed correctly so feed readers can discover it. Medium (which I hate and you should feel bad if you're using) finally added RSS feeds, but I still have to try and figure out what the hell they are every single time because they're not linked from anywhere and can't be discovered by my feed reader.
I have the problem that those meta links are kind of useless nowadays because Firefox removed the possibility to use Navigator.registerContentHandler() so I could redirect from the Feed button in the Firefox UI to TT-RSS. Now the button in the UI let's me download the Feed resource which doesn't make sense.

I am surprised when people keep saying here that RSS is dead. I am using it more than ever, every site (including hn news) configured by topic in Inoreader.

It works cross device and it's the only source I use for news, articles or anything else I read on web. If site…
Just because you have kept using RSS doesn't mean that the community has grown or even that it has stayed constant in size. Interest in RSS (or at least the best proxy I could find, Google searches for "RSS") has been steadily declining since ~2006[1]. > If site doesn't have RSS that's shame and I probably never visit it again. Assuming RSS continues to decline, I imagine that more and more sites will stop supporting…
And if you're searching for trends only, you'll be able to find that it's already happening. Community discovered that social networks is not an answer, the content is mostly garbage in there and nobody wants to 'scroll to infinity' anymore.
Look at Lisp trends at different time periods in the past 60 or so years. And then at Clojure or functional programming in general now.
Re: 'googler' - no it doesn't matter. Just because you're 'googler', doesn't mean that you're right.
Lets revise this in 10 years. My bet is: if not RSS, then better RSS ;)
