It is malevolent.
And "malevolent" becomes "stupid" if the long term consequences are inadequate to compensate (Carlo Cipolla).

Really hope you are right, that more normal non-tech user will start stop using google and all their services. Whenever a company monopolise product and services is not good for end users.

Google owns youtube, which is by far the biggest website that supports RSS.

The YouTube RSS feeds have been down for extended periods a few times in the last few weeks.

Yes but it keeps going down, and having strange 404s randomly. If this keeps happening, they'll probably just give it the shuv one day.
They’re not stupid, they just know they can kill RSS and steer people toward more monetizeable things without any repercussions. This is not “stupid”.
