Huh? When was it promoted as a replacement, by whom? It’s not even in the same product category/

RSS aggregates updates to websites without needing to check them. Pocket takes an article you have open in your browser right now and saves a local offline copy on your phone. They’re apples and oranges. Apples and orangutangs, even.

This sounds a lot like pushing it as an alternative to RSS to me.


How odd to construe an attention-grabbing headline for Mozilla's official party line. As another comment said, RSS isn't mentioned once — actually, it is, but it's an advertisement for the Verge's own RSS feed.


You’re being obtuse. At no point does that mention RSS nor describe anything like RSS at all.

If I was not being generous, I’d think you were being intentionally obtuse to justify a preconceived opinion.

But whatever. I work on that very product.


That interview with the Pocket CEO never mentions RSS.

(Disclaimer: I work for Mozilla but not on any functionality related to this)
