RSS Is (Not) Dead (Yet) takes a deep dive into how monopolies are destroying blogs, podcasts, and webcomics.

Through the lens of RSS—the long-running open-source protocol that lets you subscribe to any website—the authors examine how big tech companies undermined the largely independent success of blogs in the 2000s in an effort to push people toward social media. They also show how this is happening today with the largely independent success of podcasts. 

A great read for anyone concerned about the big-tech future (and present).
