In the good old days I could subscribe to people's blogs and get content delivered to one simple app that i could read through at my leisure. Now I have to surf between 5 different websites, all of which want me to give up my privacy and bombard me with adverts and irrelevant content.
This sounds so cliched but honestly the internet was so much more usable 10 years ago.
I also miss sites having RSS. The problem with RSS is that is not easy to use. I think Google Reader's death had a big impact on RSS adoption, at the time there weren't a lot of easy to use readers out there.
There's also that websites probably didn't know how to capitalize on RSS. It's much more profitable to get the views and ad clicks.

I wouldn't be surprised to find out that decommissioning RSS was by design to boost traffic
