| |||||||||||| 2 points by | This brief missive regards a response to the impact of AI on Internet publishers.

The proposal is to promote RSS feeds as an alternative to search engine optimization, or social media sharing. Once a return user has added a feed to their feed reader, the publisher and the user have a direct link that won't be subject to the whims of search and social media algorithms. | ||||||||||| |
