Article on Techcrunch: "RSS is undead". First line: "RSS died"

I've become a lot more jaded about tech takes by tech magazines after Mastodon. RSS never died it's just not trendy enough that you hear people talk about it. Every WordPress blog on the net has an RSS feed. Every webcomic. Every news site. Including Techcrunch.

@Gargron RSS was always a technical implementation, never a true content platform. Some people mistook it for the latter, especially in popular discourse.

It serves its purpose now just as it always has. @technewsbot uses RSS, for example.
