Now Is the Perfect Time for an RSS Renaissance
Anyone who talks about revival of RSS without talking about how it will be sustainable is just ignorant or naive, because the main reason it became what it became has everything to do with money.<p>Content providers centralized because centralized attention is more valuable than aggregation of decentralized attention in an ad driven economy.<p>Just because you want RSS to make a come back doesn&#x27;t mean it has any chance of coming back unless it makes sense economically. And I don&#x27;t see any of that mentioned in this article, nor am I aware of one that&#x27;s guaranteed to work as good as ad driven model.<p>You might as well say it&#x27;s a perfect time for the renaissance of steam engines.
