Speak for yourself, I'm still heavily using RSS. I stumbled upon this thread via RSS.

+1 (something else that was killed by google but still everyone knows that means)

I used freshrss, and got to this article via RSS as well. It's my only source of news. I'm usually the first to know about new stuff in my circle of friends because of my carefully curated RSS feeds.

+1ing things far predates Google+.

One of the good things that Google+ did for me was that it got me to stop +1ing things.

Sure but I'm still speaking for the hundreds of thousands of tech people who didnt keep using RSS even when given alternatives. Feedly was around after Reader (started in 2008, the same year of my 14yr old HN account and 5 years before Reader shut down), even I used it for 6 months after Reader. You can pretend Google is why no one cares about RSS but I'm skeptical it's the root reason.
