Welcome to the new web, a web without RSS or ATOM feeds. A web you cannot easily read without JavaScript because somewhere in the page header there is a „<style> body { visibility: hidden; } </style>” later getting unset by a script that the platform owners want you to run. A web where re-sharing of content is limited by the platform, not by the capabilities of your client. A web where you cannot comment on an article unless registering in a corporate namespace (which kicked you out if you happened to choose a name they do not particularly like). A web that lies – about content not existing, giving error 404 when you have no authorization instead of informing you correctly (just try <https://plus.google.com/115888683480056819656/posts/XrcLaUMViJP>). A web where “this content is not available in your country”.
