No, this is just old.

Pity though. RSS / Atom was a fantastic concept and it’s a real pity big tech killed them off.

Nothing is killed. It still exists, it's an open protocol after all. And I choose to use it, it's pretty fun to calmly follow around 2000 feeds from - mostly - blogs from HN. And cars... I need my car blogs.

Is there any platform for sharing what feeds we follow? Would love to discover some new blogs.

		Closest thing I can think of is this one: https://feedland.org Or you create a blog for yourself and you make a blogroll. As for discovering new blogs, couple of options but there are more out there: https://ooh.directory, https://blogroll.org/

Meh. Big tech didnt kill it off, it was already dead at that point. Sometimes things just arent popular no matter how much we might want it to be.

		Google Reader was uber popular at a time, then Google decided that syndication of articles, with comments, had to be an exclusive feature of their Facebook-esque Google+.
