    Some use/used it as an RSS feed for researchers sharing papers.

        Yeah but no. It’s not an RSS feed per se. It’s researchers sharing what they publish and what other publish with ints or resumes sometimes. Then people would comment and researchers reply.

          Never went away, they’re still used by independent websites. A potential hurdle was that Firefox dropped native support at one point

            …and a lot that are not that independent. I never stopped using RSS. It’s only because it’s not so easily monetized that it’s not more widely known, I bet.
