On top of that, many popular (premium) RSS Readers provide additional features included in the cost. What's the deal with RSS readers charging money, anyway? The most simple answer to this question is that fetching RSS feeds all day long for thousands of users has a significant cost in terms of data storage and server capabilities. And if you think you can keep up with 100+ content feeds with only social media or a bookmarking site - you're sorely mistaken. It is to this day the best method for keeping up with the latest news and blog posts from a large subset of sources.Įven if a blog/website/publisher doesn't have an RSS feed ( very unlikely) - you can use something like The RSS Bridge to generate one. The fact of the matter is, that RSS never went anywhere. One day, someone is talking about the 'revival' of RSS, the next - someone tries to justify why RSS is still a thing, or why it's a must-use service. The funny thing about RSS is that it is always a topic of discussion.
