I agree with the paragraph at the end:

The only way I got my sanity back to cut out everything that's not RSS. I still use HN's algo, but everything else goes to NewsBlur. I'm trying to quit the HN algo, but can't do it yet... mainly because the content is actually interesting.
- hinkley 5y agoWhen I first started using a feed reader, I looked for patterns in articles I liked from posts on sites like HN. after a while I had enough to keep me busy. I don’t think it’s an either or thing so much as a matter of intervals. Come back from time to time to top up with new sources you missed before.
- andrewsardone 5y agoYep, similar experience over here. As an FYI in case you’re not funneling HN through your reader, this is pretty handy: * Hacker News RSS https://hnrss.github.io/ https://hnrss.github.io/ You can subscribe to the front page, the firehouse, comments, search queries, and more. I really like it!
