The irony of the articles website asking to turn off adblocker :)

Lol, this is a picture from the message that NYTimes shows when you have an ad-blocker!

Unlock | front end | New York, NY | Full time | onsite | employee #2

We (http://unlock-protocol.com/) are looking for front end engineers: React, Redux, ES6, web3.js, Ethereum

At Unlock, we believe the web needs a new business model. We believe the decentralization promise of the web cannot be achieved if economic incentives are not aligned between consumers and creators. For this, we're building a protocol which lets anyone restrict access to their creations and for consumers to earn points when they discover and promote the best creations.

Exactly! The WEB! Not yet another format that a small percentage of people will ever use but that everybody else will have to deal with for centuries.

I don't mean to defend Facebook but Instant Articles is based on RSS... hardly a walled gardern. On the other end, AMP is (yet another) re-invention of the wheel from Google.

"This is why you see so many popups and banners on mobile websites that try to get you to download apps. It is also why so many mobile websites are broken."

Huh, is that surprising? They break their mobile sites and expect people to still use them more than apps? This is self fulfulling: if you make a sucky website, people will NOT use it. Make a wonderful mobile site and people will not care about your apps.

The problem that i see is that once big 'popular' readers are gone, it's possible that publishers decide that RSS is a feature not worth having/maintaining. That's a choice that has been made already by platforms like Twitter and such. A lot of new (more recent) blog platforms also did not prioritize RSS.

So, as much as I agree with the statement, I'm worried that in the end, we'll all lose.

Finally, Feedly's strategy here is probably one of the best way to make sure that publishers stop puvblising RSS feeds.
