is rss dying
RSS has been dying for years. First off, the image above is the Google Trends search on ârssâ over the last few years. That tells you how many people are searching for RSS on Google. To me, thatâs the best indication that as a consumer-facing technology, thereâs been waning interest for years.
Your post suggests over and over rss auto-discovery is being killed when it isnât. You no more today have to add an RSS button to your page than you did a year ago. The UI for RSS has actually improved with a menu item that makes it clear what RSS is âsubscribeâ. RSS never had a button in the toolbar.
