RSS: there's nothing better

What you try to say is (I think): RSS is better because it's totally foreign to clickbait. The goals sites try to reach using clickbait are goals not helped by RSS.

Right?

RSS is badly suited as a vector for virally driven waves of outrage. "Let's call it an accidental feature" as lwall once wrote.

To be more exact, RSS is headline-oriented, so it's about clickbait. It is not about sharebait.

He's partially right, the web 2.0 trend was all about interaction, "we" all believed it would be heavens on earth while we now know it's far from that and now I (we?) would love to go back to light and simple aggregation.

Well you can still have clickbait-like headlines with RSS, but it does take the viral element away,.
