I heard back on this the other day. The #SJM aka #SJMN aka #mercurynews turned off their feeds due to #aiscraping , as they offered full articles in the feed.

Ugh. Still a -4 on productivity.

What the? #SanJoseMercury aka #SJMN or #mercurynews , once the 5th largest newspaper in the US, one I've subscribed for, eh, 20 years, cut off it's RSS feed last week. What kind of enshitification level is this?

They use Wordpress as their CMS. You'd think RSS support would essentially be a checkbox or plugin.

-4 to productivity. meh!
