Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance? - eviltoast

According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return.

EDIT: Typical case of people only reading the headline. I was asking why people are hyped over something that did NOT happen.

    Right after Reddit melted I dusted off feed the and updated all my RSS feeds.

    If you have any great RSS feeds to share, post them here.

        Here is my problem with that list: it is almost entirely general news feeds. If you subscribe the the first 20 you are going to see the same story 20 times. I’m looking for niche information that is curated. Slashdot, Science Based Medicine, Nature, Factcheck, Neurologica, that kind of stuff where it’s not the same stories covered by everyone else.

      I had never used it until the Reddit event. Then I looked up what RSS was and realized that that’s how I was using Reddit, so might as well just do it that way. It’s so much better.
