I've been using an RSS reader for a few months to get news and other updates about things and honestly it's great. I don't get served clickbait or rage-bait articles now compared to when news used to be served to me by an algorithm.

  1. but you clearly don’t

  2. google news, which is an app to read news, has nothing to do with rss, a syndication protocol. how on earth does an app succeed a protocol? that makes no sense.

  1. how so? I’ve literally used RSS to read news for several months on end since I didn’t have another solution

  2. it’s not necessarily that the app succeeds the protocol. it’s the fact that not many people use RSS, and more people have started to use apps like I’ve talked about.

did you only say this to start an argument with me.

definitely seems like it. i just feel that it’s weird that you purposefully misinterpreted me then started acting weird after i expressed my confusion.

This is clearly a misunderstanding. @radi8 was just saying that they believe that things like Google News that essentially aggregates news with algorithms rather than allowing the user to add the sources themselves is seen by many as the successor to RSS (which it isn’t, but radi8 was pointing out that many likely do think that). I wouldn’t say or suggest that radi8 was trying to upset or argue with you. Also can we please not argue lol.
