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.
First time trying RSS, giving it a shot. Thanks!
Good luck, it's kind of feature-rich so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. The dev is quite responsive (on Github) which is good.
