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.

    The big platforms have gotten a lot worse.

    Twitter went fascist.
    Canadians can’t share news articles on Facebook.
    Reddit self-owned.

        Blame? Fuck Facebook, the less relevant it is the better.

        Well yes. When a monetary charge is imposed for doing some action, people may simply choose not to do that action anymore. Since the action was “as a big web site, publishing user-submitted links to news sites”, that’s what Facebook chose to stop doing.
