I can see why people think RSS is dead, however with services like ifttt RSS has become so much more useful.

Here are some of my more useful recipes involving RSS.

* The obvious. Getting the latest and greatest post from a small selection of high quality sites delivered to my email. (this amounts to about 4 emails a week)

* Github commits rss feed get texted to me.

* Github wiki page edits RSS feed are emailed to me.

I know I'm speaking to the choir but standard structured data is vastly useful.
