RSS was only part of the solution, the other half... was Google Reader: the homepage's "Suggested" section learned what you were starring/following and provided new content. I found tons of new stuff to read with that.

RSS is as you mentioned, syndication. Not discovery.

I guess apps like feedly have RSS recommendations, but that's not the same thing.

RSS made building discovery apps extremely easy. Today you can’t aggregate content at all most of the time unless you are the platform.
