    I keep seeing content sites like Medium, Hashnode, etc., providing the RSS feed. Is it still relevant? I would like to know your thoughts. Do you use RSS or provide RSS for your products? If yes, What's the impact? is there any?

    Yes, as a News Publisher without built-in ways to measure your content production, you can actually count the number of produced news articles using RSS :)

    It is still relevant. Some tolls rely on it. For example Missinglettr that I'm using to distribute my content from medium to LinkedIn.

    Agree it still has its uses. If you're building a content aggregator of some sort, it's a nice easy format to integrate with, simply because it is very standardised and simple.

    I think podcasts still use it?
