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.
NetNewsWire is the client I recommend, if you’re on a platform that supports it. Feedly is pretty good and easier to get started with since it has a search index for various feeds
