"Old man yells at cloud about how the young'ns don't appreciate RSS."

I mean that somewhat sarcastically; but there does come a point where the demands are unreasonable, the technology is dead. There are probably more people browsing with JavaScript disabled than using RSS feeds. There are probably more people browsing on Windows XP than using RSS feeds. Do I yell at you because your personal blog doesn't support IE6 anymore?






Spotify and Apple Podcasts use RSS feeds to update what they show in their apps. And even if millions of people weren't dependent on it, suggesting that an infrastructure provider not fix a bug only makes the web worse.
