i do not understand why a news site would not have an #RSS feed of their latest headlines.

you don't have to give your content away if you don't want to. but you cannot bitch & moan about #facebook or #twitter cannibalizing your readership in their fascist gated communities when you've turned your back on web standards and the open web.

@blogdiva I think it’s because they couldn’t figure out how to monetise it initially and then found they could build a worse user interface and get people to pay to use it.

@jomangee they didn't want to pay for syndication editors. i know. i used to consult on this.

RSS is a different medium for delivering content but they just wanted little robots so they could just break the unions they didn't want to pay.

so they let themselves get wined & dined by the stalkerware techbros that said, yeah! you got it. we'll give you bots.

and they got hoodwinked doubly so cuz they anyway ended hiring social media editors to continue losing money anyway.

@blogdiva If they understood web standards they could have written once and have it read by many. Ah well. It’s been a few years since FriendFeed, the aggregator of everything was shuttered and has been little in the syndication of content since in my world. :/
