>I think RSS is dead

This is the most effective way to consume content. It's not dead and won't be until more effective one.

I interpret "dead" in this context as "very few people are using it, and usage is shrinking".

Is it shrinking? My podcast apps use RSS feeds to locate episodes. Debian uses sourceforge's RSS feeds to locate updated sources. A published, chronological list of events or things is not an uncommon thing to want, and as the parent said unless something better comes along RSS/Atom is it.

When usage excluding software update and podcast. How many people are using RSS for consuming "news"?
