Good grief I struggle to keep up with eight feeds in my RSS reader!
- moehm 4y agoI see two use cases of an RSS reader. You can use them as a stream of news and just dive in when you want, or trying to read every article. I personally do a bit of both, mixing feeds, but with good tagging and filtering.
- jerlam 4y agoI do the same - I separate "firehose" feeds that have dozens or more updates a day, from feeds that may update once a month. The latter is likely more important and cannot be lost in the noise of the former. It is a very small microcosm of how we say we want social media feeds to work (chronological) but why algorithms are everywhere.
- kevincox 4y agoI think it depends on the type of feeds you subscribe to. Some big news sites have multiple posts an hour whereas many personal blogs don't post in the average month. Personally I do more of the latter and probably get less than 10 new items a day (and 3 of those tend to be comics which are quick to read over breakfast). Often the higher-volume feeds that I subscribe to are filtered by author or category to focus on what I am really interested in.
