Even for following blogposts, what better alternatives exist? Genuinely curious here -- I read about how RSS/Atom is obsolete all the time but I still use them with feedly to follow blogs and news sites and don't see a better alternative.
Twitter and Facebook tend to produce too much noise in my experience to work as an alternative. I have an aversion to reading email newsletters, and they also get lost under noise.
Sure, most people don't use feeds, but even after the demise of Google Reader I reckon they still work just as well as they ever have and are the best way to keep up to date with blogs and provide yourself with a constant source of interesting reading.
