    I’m looking for live updates from race teams during endurance events, gaming news from specific creators, local traffic notifications and real time updates from sports teams leading up to games.

    These things don’t typically have articles to link to, so aggregators don’t work well, and are often behind the curve. RSS has no adoption anymore and doesn’t quite work anyways.

      Not true. RSS feeds are the only thing I use these days and know quite a few others that do as well. Sure some sites may not have RSS feeds by default, but there are a ton of services that auto generate RSS feeds for you.

        Again, these kinds of news pieces don’t have articles written because they’re real time updates.

        On top of that I really have 0 interest in opening a ton of webpages to find simple info. RSS has never been a solution to what I want.

          So don’t use RSS then? No one’s trying to convince anyone to use RSS if they don’t want to. I was just correcting the validity of the original statement.

      None of those are essential serveices. There is no alternative, those are just not essential things. In order to get those non essential things we will all stay signed into for the neo nazi revenue and messaging machine.

        So basically “don’t use it, we can’t offer a replacement, but since it’s not food or water you can go fuck yourself and not have it”

        And people wonder why everyone doesn’t join open source projects.
