Cal Newport’s new book ‘Digital Minimalism’ offers a good viewpoint on why this is useful: how much time to you lose mindlessly clicking around on HN and Reddit each week? (Unfortunately, I keep track of this and it is disturbing.) With a quality news feed the hope would be that you would get information you need with spending less of your time. I am taking a different track towards digital minimalism: I don’t count time spend reading eBooks and listening to audio books. But I am monitoring and reducing empty non-productive time on my devices.
