Haha, this is gold! I love the sarcastic tone.
I think RSS switched to Social Media, then to email newsletters, but I agree with @movq on being mainly for the lack of discoverability in browsers.
On Gemini I use Antenna, or even Telegram channels to push the content to me. I don't know, I'm not an avid consumer of blogs, and that's perhaps the reason I don't like to receive content in aggregators. IDK.
@eaplmx I would argue that it went to email newsletters, *then* social media. I don't think many people read email newsletters anymore.
@mckinley I get your point, perhaps I'd say it went to email, then social media, and it's coming back to mail.
You'd be surprised at how many people are reading email newsletters nowadays, trying to flee from media and using the evergreen email.
I found this random link from the marketing side, but I'd like to have numbers from the hobbyist side, comparing usage of RSS vs email, for instance:
