Why RSS Feeds Are Still a Power Move for Blogs in 2025
RSS feeds -- they’re a secret weapon for bloggers and readers who want control over content. No algorithms, no noise — just updates straight from the source.
By Ken Morico on Just optimized my RSS feed with full content for blog articles and newsletters. I still LOVE using RSS readers for reading blog content. I’m making RSS a first-class citizen on my Website. Here’s why you should too:
-
RSS feeds aren’t dead in 2025. They’re a secret weapon for bloggers and readers who want control over content. No algorithms, no noise—just updates straight from the source.
-
For readers, RSS is a dream for power users. Tools like Feedly or Reeder let you follow hundreds of blogs in one place. No social media clutter. Perfect for researchers, curators, or anyone who loves a clean feed. Are you using an RSS reader?
-
For bloggers, it’s low-effort, high-impact. Most platforms like WordPress or Ghost auto-generate RSS feeds. It’s a simple way to keep loyal readers hooked and syndicate content to podcast apps or aggregators. Why not give your audience options?
-
With the fediverse and indie web gaining steam, RSS is making a comeback. It’s decentralized, privacy-friendly, and lets you own your content flow. In a world of walled gardens, RSS is freedom.
RSS isn’t just for humans. In 2025, it’s a backbone for AI tools, chatbots, and curated newsletters. Feed your blog into summarizers or automation pipelines with zero hassle. It’s like plumbing for the internet.
The catch: mainstream users lean on X or newsletters for discovery. RSS is niche but powerful. About 30% of websites still offer feeds (W3Techs, 2024), especially tech and indie blogs. It’s a small investment for big loyalty.
If you’re a blogger / content creator, keep that RSS feed alive. It’s a future-proof way to reach dedicated fans and tap into new distribution channels.
Readers, try an RSS app—it’s a game-changer for staying informed.
What’s your favorite RSS tool? I use Reeder on Mac / iOS to power through feeds.
