I'll add another - Chronological ordering within the day isn't very useful. I'm more interested in what other readers (of my type) have found "important/interesting/insightful/etc", so I care about the likes/upvotes/etc... I don't want everything every day. I want to read the X most important articles that day, with X being different each day depending upon how much time I have. RSS cannot really provide that prioritization.

> I don't want everything every day. Yeah! I'm with you. Although I don't use it, I really like some of the features of https://fraidyc.at/ https://fraidyc.at/. For the majority of feeds I follow, I don't need to keep track of unread status, and high-frequency feeds would be much more bearable if they were grouped together to avoid taking over an aggregated listing. I feel like a lot of client defaults tend to hew too closely to email clients or something.

Before the big social media companies slurped up most of the traffic, there used to be a lot of experimentation with this kind of filtering/aggregation. Nowadays with much better ML libraries, I see no reason why you couldn't train a classifier on your own preferences. Unfortunately most of the devs that are interested in RSS type stuff tend to not know much about machine learning so there's not much of it going on.
