I don't think you're wrong. But I see here a fantastic example of what's been going on since the Reader shutdown fiasco, which is people comparing RSS to services like Facebook and Reddit, when RSS itself, is actually just an interchange standard, and what you mean is surely RSS aggregators.

I only bring it up because I worry that people might think they should stop providing RSS on their blogs. I hope that isn't people's takeaway because RSS solves a legitimate problem with decentralized publishing in a machine-friendly way.
