@ben Not only is it good for readers who directly access the RSS feed, it's good for pushing out to social media. We have a feed that sends out every article on a schedule, plus it's used to assemble the article list for our newsletter. Far from being obsolete, RSS is a powerful tool.

@ben ... with a little tweaking, our articles go out to Facebook, Mastodon, Twitter and even some of them (based on category feeds) to Tumblr.

@larryfeltonj @ben I would love to read more about that process!

@mauricerenck @ben It depends on the tools used for scheduling, but I use dlvr.it to schedule for social media, and mailerlite for newsletter. Both play well with RSS. dlvr.it isn't very user-friendly, but once I beat my head against the wall with their terrible documentation, it was easy to set up RSS feeds to distribute to social media by pulling the info from RSS feed, including from different Wordpress categories on our site.
