I use RSS extensively and in multiple ways. I rely on it a lot. I love it and need it in my life. The number of websites that no longer support RSS (or try not to coughyoutubecough) is a crime against the internet IMO.

* I near-exclusively access my text-based news via RSS, mostly via thunderbird, using many many RSS feeds gathered over years. I got here from an RSS feed.

* I run scripts which monitor a few web pages and give me RSS output, so that I can see new posts on these pages mixed in with my news.

* I use an RSS reader on my phone to notify me of certain events, and I have an RSS monitor widget for those events in my task bar on my desktop.

* For work, I scrape something on the order of ~200K RSS feeds and ~20mil feed items every ~couple of days.
