Everyone gives Meta and Twitter flack for the hellscape that is social media.

But you know who else deserves flack? Google.

They killed RSS so that everyone would use Google+ for news. Instead, everyone used Facebook and Twiter.

@atomicpoet I still use RSS everyday, but I think your point is sound. There are sites that used to offer feeds that don’t anymore, with the expectation you’ll follow them on a social media site instead, and that’s a shame.
