According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return.
EDIT: Typical case of people only reading the headline. I was asking why people are hyped over something that did NOT happen.
I went from Google Reader to Reddit. It scratched very much the same itch. I remember having quite the curated list of RSS feeds subscribed to. Still pissed that Google killed it.
We really just need a Reader replacement. I'm sure there is something out there I don't know about.
If not, perhaps I'll make one and become a billionaire on the RSS bandwagon!

Was about to say lol. Right in those last days/weeks of Google Reader, Feedly loudly stepped up and offered to help people import their data over and continue on right in the nick of time. I'd assume the majority of people who had been on Reader, who didn't quit using feeds entirely, probably migrated to Feedly the day Reader shut down.
Inoreader has been my go to, or The Old Reader which is closer to Google Readers style.
I used Feedly for many years, but recently switched to Newsblur, and I love that it lets me filter out posts by tags or keywords, finally don't have to use external tools for it.
Trying this out now. It's awesome. Might have found a new doomscrolling default...
Inoreader perhaps?
Is Feedly still a thing and okay? I remember it being the stopgap between Google Reader and Reddit, however I'm not sure where it lies on the "free version is good enough" vs "completely gimped free version and the real product is the paid one"
I’m using the free version and not missing the paid features!
Handy News Reader (F-droid).
First time trying RSS, giving it a shot. Thanks!
Good luck, it's kind of feature-rich so if you have any questions, feel free to ask. The dev is quite responsive (on Github) which is good.
I've been using Flym since they killed Reader.
inoreader is excellent
