Yes! Unfortunately it is no longer mainstream since the monetization opportunities are fewer. But a lot of tech-savvy people prefer it for many reasons:

1. You get a personalized view of what you have and have not read. 2. You can scan over a lot of posts very quickly, and pick out what you want to read. 3. You can aggregate a lot of different websites in a single place. No need to visit each website individually. 4. Increased privacy. 5. Less tracking. 6. Increased control. 7. Fewer ads.

Probably more reasons, but these are the primary reasons why I still prefer RSS.
