According to Google Trends, during the past few years, there has been nothing but a few minor bumps that faded away as quickly as they came. I love RSS because i do not have to scroll through dozens of different news sites all day and i would love it to return.
EDIT: Typical case of people only reading the headline. I was asking why people are hyped over something that did NOT happen.
Inoreader for me
Couldn't live without RSS, they're literally my #1 source of info/news/updates.
It's a no fuss that works so well, I don't understand why anyone would prefer a Google feed or any other social media feed to get their updates.
I'm in full control of the sources, no shady content pushed to me from other sources just for ad revenues.
