- RSS (Really Simple Syndication) provides a high signal-to-noise ratio for consuming quality content.
- RSS feeds allow users to subscribe to content via aggregators like Feedly, NewsBlur, or Inoreader.
- RSS gives users full control over their content consumption without algorithmic interference.
- RSS favors long-term, thoughtful content over low-value or ad-heavy material.
- RSS lacks real-time updates and social interaction, which some see as a benefit for focused reading.
- Criticisms of RSS include lack of analytics, discoverability issues, and rendering limitations for visual content.
- Despite criticisms, RSS remains a solid technology for deliberate content consumption.
