That's different from how I understood his comment! There is no point in hoarding links; this is just "information." Information by itself is not useful; we need "data" instead. To turn this information into data, you could use something like Zettelkasten. Instead of hoarding links to articles, hoard notes about these articles and link them together. Basically, stop hoarding links due to your FOMO. Actually read articles that interest you and learn from them by writing your thoughts.

normally you go : data -> information -> knowledge. Although the definitions are some what murky, this is the generally accepted model. I think what you are talking about is personal knowledge management.

  You are right, I mixed the terms “data” and “information” up

> I like seeing what people are working on, but there’s too much information and I have a small problem with that.. While it’s manageable to read through a smaller batch of 30-40 links, it’s time-consuming and overwhelming when the number grows to 80+ in a single week. The author writes his problem very clearly: he doesn't have time to go through the links. Suggesting that he not only goes through the links but also writes a Zettelkasten note about it is simply ridiculous. I'm not saying that the original comment is wrong, just that it's completely off topic and presents something as a solution when it's actually just a bigger problem.

  The autor mentions that they are spending a huge amount of time on hoarding links. This is a waste of time. They should stop doing this, instead spend that time on reading a few articles and writing notes.

    Why should they start spending time on writing notes on links, even if it requires looking at less links to make the time for it? It's really not obvious that writing notes habitually is good advice or a healthier use of time
