Linked: “Read more blogs”

via Seth Godin:

Here’s the thing: Google doesn’t want you to read blogs. They shut down their RSS reader and they’re dumping many blog subscriptions into the gmail promo folder, where they languish unread.

And Facebook doesn’t want you to read blogs either. They have cut back the organic sharing some blogs benefitted from so that those bloggers will pay to ‘boost’ their traffic to what it used to be.

BUT!

RSS still works. It’s still free. It’s still unfiltered, uncensored and spam-free.

In an age where Facebook, Google and Twitter all think their news feeds you read should be curated and thrown against an algorithm of things you might read based on a ton of AI factors, the blog doesn’t do that. I publish things to an RSS feed which is delivered to you w/o a filter. It’s the best way to consume news, period.
