Why are people hyped about RSS regaining relevance?
(lemmy.world)
According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return.
EDIT: Typical case of people only reading the headline. I was asking why people are hyped over something that did NOT happen.
I do kinda like the idea of some kind of curation, but I'd like the algorithm to be transparent to me, so that I can go in and see what's been filtered out, for instance, and why.
Some guy on Mastodon a while back was working on a service that'd give him a digest of daily posts he'd missed from his feed. I could see the value in something like that, as long as you control the algorithm yourself.
I think I'm still stuck on the idea of a daily edition. A finite selection of post or articles and maybe a funny pages section too. Like a newspaper in the olden days.
