Considering that I got to this page from an RSS feed, no, I would say it's not. I'm not the only one I know that has a list of RSS feeds that they read daily.
And if they didn't exist, I'd be forced to write something to create them. I don't have time to check dozens of sites every day to see if they have new content.

Summary: RSS is alive, most UI's miss the point of the format but people are continuing to build new things with it.

That page lacks an RSS feed. So I made one.

The original page randomly changes on refresh. Can you make the feed dynamic, too?
Pity there isn't an RSS feed.
Yes, it was touch I especially liked about http://hasthelargehadroncolliderdestroyedtheworldyet.com/ and would find even more humorous here.
PS - it's random. Keep refreshing until you get the answer you like.
When all of you are done fighting, go take a look at http://lazyreadr.com ; I'm betting the figurative farm on it
Something seems to be seriously wrong with your image.

I have a feeling a service to generate single page, single word long question domains could actually be successful.
I really just wish that meme would die a graceful death. It was amusing at first, but hundreds of examples later, not so much.
Once people start talking about whether something's dead it's definitely on the way out.
Such a generalizing statement that would be so easy to disprove that I shall abstain from doing so.
Like people talking about Lisp being dead for the last 30 years, or so? ;).
