Lots of people are saying it's a collective nostalgia or a blast to the past to consider using RSS. Even in my daily life I hear this from other people. It's not just nostalgia, I've been using it since my last year of high school as a gen Z. I don't see how people can repeatedly check websites or put faith in twitter or whatever non-RSS users do to get their new information. RSS is very practical, it's just a server/app repeatedly checking websites for me, in an XML document that fits a standard. Use createfeed.fivefilters.org to make given HTML conform to RSS with CSS selectors if need be. Why check websites when this app can do it for me?
