n. Abbreviation for Really Simple Syndication. A standardized web feed format used to publish frequently updated works—such as blog entries, news headlines, or audio—in a machine-readable format. It allows users to aggregate content from multiple sources into a single interface.

Many podcast listeners prefer to subscribe via an RSS feed to ensure they receive new episodes as soon as they are released.
The decline of the open web is often linked to the marginalization of RSS in favor of algorithmic social media feeds, which prioritize engagement over chronological updates.
Often used as a modifier before another noun (e.g., 'RSS feed', 'RSS reader'). When referring to the technology generally, it is uncountable; when referring to a specific feed, it can be countable.
