I've never really used rss as a power user, but a long time ago subscribed to some feeds and tracked them in an rss app. I did that because it seemed like at one point I saw the rss logo everywhere and it seemed like everyone was promoting it. I didn't use the actual aggregator to look at the combined feeds, but I did have it all set up.

Now I can't remember the last time I saw a site promoting or even clearly mentioning above the fold that they publish an rss feed. I didn't know HN published one until now.

That's why I haven't argued with anyone claiming it's dead. It seems like it disappeared.

I've seen more than a few sites use the RSS logo to point to a newsletter signup. I'm not sure whether it was deception or ignorance.
