RSS in 2026 — the best distribution channel nobody uses · intrepidkarthi by Karthikeyan NG
Creators want analytics. Email gives you opens and clicks. RSS gives you nothing — you cannot see who is reading. For creators who measure success in dashboards, RSS feels like flying blind. For creators who measure success in actual reading, RSS is fine.
I agree. I use RSS feeds primarily to track and read things on the web. My website promotes and has a feeds page.
