We should praise RSS more. It’s one of the greatest inventions for consuming media that respects you and your time. It sounds funny, but seriously… did you ever feel a fear of missing out while using RSS? If so, then I’m sorry, but it’s really hard to be overloaded with it. Even if you take a break from reading, and come back after one month, everything just waits for you exactly where it was.

Also with RSS you usually subscribe to more quality content than on social media, where everyone has to be the first, the loudest and so on — it’s more like quantity vs. quality mode. No more BREAKING!, THREAD and other shitty stuff. This is your safe and calm space. In the RSS world, nothing fights for your attention. That’s how I see it.

And the main reason why it lost its mass popularity is because you can’t make a huge amount of money with it.

I’ve had RSS available on my website since I’ve started writing my thoughts here (instead of social media), but from today it’s more accessible¹. You can choose which channel you want to subscribe to.
