RSS/Atom solved the problem of getting the information you want to see well enough, and in a way that makes it trivial to make your own filters. They just didn't solve the problem of coaxing you into sticking around and looking at ads long after you've read everything you needed to read, for that you need to surround your users with people who are wrong on the Internet.
