@meadowhawk I already texted them about their RSS Feed. That's my way of reading everything they publish. Maybe they'll change it.

But RSS feeds alone won't help, as these only reach the regular visiting audience. You don't get visible for the unknown on RSS Feeds.

As you see on their page, they promote their content on every other channel possible, still Google Search used to be the main entry point. If I'd have to guess, probably YouTube might be second or third. Welcome to hell.

@ichderfisch that's awesome! I was trying to figure out how to reach out and remind them they have RSS as well.

I agree discovery via Google is the hell we live with. I guess all we can do is keep screaming into the void about why everyone should quit relying solely on Google...we might make headway In a few years... I'm a nihilistic optimistic :⁠-⁠D

@ichderfisch ah thanks, I'll encourage them as well, thanks! I noticed that a couple years ago they were getting awards from Google for traffic... Interesting how google changes plans and hurts people.
