Is RSS still relevant?

RSS looked dead after Google Reader's 2013 shutdown but is still actively used. Feedly / Inoreader / NewsBlur are popular readers. Substack / Medium / Mastodon all output RSS automatically. News media, tech blogs, podcasts still need it. Not a direct SEO factor, but it builds loyal readership.
