The true failing of RSS is that you can't track people with it

@lain Not tracking people is one of the best features to have, right?

@lain @mikelynch I love how RSS also "shares" the "failing" of podcasting - a technology distributed using ...RSS.

@lain @nuttgodd it's like they never heard of feedburner or utm strings.

@lain Well, that was fun to read.> RSS’ true failings though are on the publisher side, with the most obvious issue being analytics. RSS doesn’t allow publishers to track user behavior.> losing your logo, colors, and fonts on an article is an effective way to kill enterprise value.> There needs to be some sort of a commerce layer around feeds> Next, RSS readers need to get a lot smarter about marketing and on-boarding. They need to actively guide users to find where the best content is, and help them curate their feeds with algorithms > I don’t think users actually, truly care about privacy > with the right business model in place, there could be enough users to make such a renewed approach to streams viable for companies, and that is ultimately the critical ingredient you need to have for a fresh news economy to surface and for RSS to come back to life.

@lain @anthk I only ever use my RSS reader as a list of websites I’d be interested in visiting today. If a website has a feed I’ll visit it more often than one that doesn’t. I may be an odd RSS reader user in that I don’t use it to “read” but it works for me 😊

@carbontwelve @lain @anthk I use mine quite a bit. I prefer viewing YouTube channels through it, and follow a lot of personal/professional blogs. I self-host a tt-rss container.

@lain I don't see a problem with that, but I have this magical thing called a "day job" instead of depending on ads for money.
