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.

      People who are looking for a good RSS client for their phone?

      People hoping that it would give a web page/post with a curated list of RSS URLs.

          please correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe that this graph included any search with RSS in your search query. Otherwise it works be useless as people rarely search for something with just a single word.

      the subset of those who do not use a proper search engine who want to know what a RSS is.

        Beyond that, though, who the fuck would use Google’s search popularity as a metric for the popularity of a technology. Those who use it aren’t searching for it all the time. OP is dumb.

          that’s been a leading indicator of popularity for a long time now.

          Search popularity is something like the first derivation (read: change in) popularity of a technology.

          Calling people dumb is ableist.
