From The Verge: "Reddit will stop supporting RSS feeds on November 13th"

#Reddit claims that "RSS is 'now a common surface for large-scale scraping and automated abuse'."

Sauce: https://www.theverge.com/tech/1002788/old-reddit-ai-scraping

Maybe some frontend will add #RSSfeeds now, if there isn't any already?

Still, sounds to me like either, or both, a scapegoat and an engineered problem they now harvest the exact fruits they wanted from.

@seashanty928@lemmy.world can't say for others, but I also find RSS to be a good way to keep motivated on using a platform, even to keep posting to or interacting with, not just quietly consuming stuff. Even more so when its UI, UX and some times even userbase are miserable at best, RSS allowing me to avoid the problematic parts.
