   The thing is that #RSS is the best. Social media sites don't like RSS because it breeds independence. Which is exactly why #creators should be using and *promoting* RSS. You can whine about the #algorithm or you can work on freeing your self from its clutches.

     We keep treating #RSS as if it died. It is in fact wildly popular. #Podcasts show us how powerful this really simple syndication actually is.

     The real problem is that people don't really understand that RSS is the underlying structure of a #podcast.

     I could post recordings of myself talking on the web and almost no-one would find it. With an RSS-feed I can reach an audience.

     "Imagine subscribing to a #creator or a publication like you subscribe to a podcast."

     People might get it that way.

     While I would love each #Creator to have their own site where they host their stuff I think that #RSS might work with a minimal structure.

     Many people have a central hub which links to all their profiles. The extremely minimal addition would be just a link to an #RSSFeed people can subscribe to.

     If people #CrossPost content then the feed should have one entry which links to the different platforms (or your self hosted one).

     There could be an actual page with embedded content as well.
