“Contrary to what The New York Times has speculated, we are not at peak newsletter. We are just at peak newsletter via email delivery.”

With using Twitter becoming increasingly like smoking — a habit you can’t quit but know you should — there’s a chance that a better RSS reader will finally, finally take hold and scale.

Two years ago, Sara Watson boldly predicted in this space that we might see a return of the RSS reader, or something like it, recognizing that the world of constant email newsletters was simply impossible to maintain. But the appetite wasn’t strong enough yet.

The difference, going into 2023, is that even the Inbox Zero people are going to have a reason to complain.

    My 2 cents.

    @lemmyreader @paquita nunca entendí realmente lo del RSS. Cuando lo tienes en tu blog ¿no cuentan las visibilizaciones de los post porque se ven en un lector? La mayoría de blogs que seguía se fueron quedando por el camino en estos años a favor de otros canales como podcasts o Tik Tok

      Not sure that reading a blog post with RSS feed reader will not count as page view. RSS makes it possible to filter and search for topics to find something that one finds interesting to read. Now with Mastodon it is possible to use RSS to follow accounts, which is maybe the beginning of a new era of possibilities with RSS.
