   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.

      "trendy"

      That's the key word.

      Tech that does its simple job well isn't trendy and regularly gets overlooked.

      RSS isn't groundbreaking, but it serves its purpose just fine.

      @Gargron I have a policy to never trust a tech mag. I'll trust, e.g., Phrack, 2600, and a few journalists such as @sarahjeong , but for the bulk of it, a well informed blog or comment on HN beats mags.
