Ironically just told the founder of my company that it was mission critical our blog had RSS. He had never used it before somehow and didn't know why it would be a big deal lol.

Boy do I feel old if a short, low content PSA about the existence of RSS is considered "hacker news."

I mean.. it shouldn't be controversial.. but people keep claiming rss is dead.

RSS is the antidote to algorithm feeds. I’m glad for any mention of it. 90% of the tools users need were built 1970-2000 including RSS.

Not only that, but an ad for their mobile app. Pretty low quality content.

> RSS is really simple, so it is still very well supported. Notably, all substack publications automatically have an RSS feed included at https://{{substack-domain}}/feed .

I wonder how long that will last until Substack closes it, I have never seen an RSS feed where the author is able to make it sustainable for them to make money from it.
