How many more platforms do we need where users can post all sorts of media and follow other’s content? Every social media site copies features from another, and they are all basically the same item wrapped in a different package. When will people wake up and return to RSS?

> When will people wake up and return to RSS?

RSS was by techies, and only ever used by techies. Uncontrolled news feeds lacking data collection doesn't sell enough for the giants.

Also RSS only thrives if sites put in the effort to support it. Even still, the majority of online users are on social media platforms, not "surfing the www" like the gold ol' days.
