The problem is he gave up RSS in order to give up what he calls news, but I don't get news from RSS.
News has been redefined as journalistic agitprop to gain pageviews of people in the right attitude to sell them an advertising message. I have very little interest in that.
On the other hand I like astrobites, and some of the arxiv RSS feeds, and others along those lines. They are news in some definitions, but definitely not news in the "news industry" definition.
Its like the difference between getting your weather news report from weather.gov or from the weather channel on cable.
