Non-rhetorical question: How did email newsletter services like #Substack make reading blogs so popular again?

What would it take for #RSS to see the same success?

Maybe people would take #RSS more seriously if they understood that it is the basis of #podcasting.

The media in general and #creators specifically could spend a fraction of the time they take to "plug their socials" just explaining to people that RSS is a simple way to follow them.

I also think creators should free themselves from the dreaded algorithms by creating a feed that is updated whenever they release new content. I would argue that they should try to mirror as much of their content as possible on their own sites to control their own archive.

I think that a tool that helps creators aggregate their content across #Platforms would make a lot of difference. Then they can say "instead of following me on all those apps platforms you can just keep updated with rss".

It takes a lot of work to format videos for each #SocialMedia platform. You can't just upload your #YouTube video #TikTok but you can upload (or embed) all those videos to your own site which creates a feed that people can subscribe to with any #RSSApp.

@oligneisti Algorithms are not “dreaded” by most people

I meant that #creators always seem to be dreading a change in the algorithm that will deemphasize their content. That is why they should take the initiative in spreading the word.
