Chris TrottierEveryone 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.
C J Fryer@atomicpoet It was my impression RSS started to die off when news publishers found they couldn't graph "eyeballs" on their site, and couldn't reliably cram adverts into their feeds. They tried to work around it for a while by publishing intros/standfirsts/teasers instead of full articles, but then gave up.
