Although RSS feeds are alive and still heavily used today, their level of adoption has suffered because of how difficult a handful of popular technology companies have made it to use them. Google, especially, has relied on the open web RSS protocol to gain so much market share and influence, but continues to engage in behavior that exploits the open web at the expense of its users. As a result, Google has single-handedly contributed to the reason many users who once relied on RSS feeds have stopped using them.

I mean... Even if Google didn't do nothing most would be shit anyway or not exists because they usually either don't have ads or there isn't a nice way to have ads and much less tracking, most webs would have either removed them or it would be super basic where you have to enter the page to read anything.
