Lol, You should clear all your collections. Don't hesitate. Last week, I clear all my collections from all platforms used. I save 2500+ unread articles in my pocket. It's meaningless to save without time to read. And read later app I will never use again. You should bear in mind that the energy of the human is limited. I am from China. There is a traditional Chinese culture sentence for you. 吾生也有涯，而知也无涯。以有涯随无涯，殆已！

The problem with a lot of these tools is there is no incremental escape hatch. I had 25,000 tabs last year which I saved as a line delimited text file. Then every day I automate opening 7 tabs and I force myself to get through them. Sometimes it takes 2 minutes, sometimes it takes an hour. Sometimes it ends with me adding 50 more links to the text file. Sometimes the tabs are garbage but often they are worthwhile. https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/computer/blob/main/.config/fish/functions/opentabs.fish https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/computer/blob/main/.config/... https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/computer/blob/main/.config/systemd/user/tabs-extra.service https://github.com/chapmanjacobd/computer/blob/main/.config/... But over the past year I've gone through 2,555 tabs! So it seems like it is working. Maybe in 10 years I'll reach tab zero

  It's good to clean some content of your collections regularly. But I think tab zero is impossible. As you said that "Sometimes it ends with me adding 50 more links to the text file.", I have this experience too. For me, I just give it up as my limited energy. The endless urls on the Internet shouldn't be a burden for my life. If my energy only supports me one hour every day on the Internet. I won't browser the Internet more than one hour. Reading some content over my limited energy is tired.
