I tried RSS a couple times but I don’t get it. There are so many different channels from one of my favorite news site alone. If I fetch them all, my RSS inbox is bursting from that one site. How do I sort through all of it? I can’t manage hundreds of new articles per day.
you don’t read every article when visiting the website either, do you? so you’re already doing the sorting.
no one’s forcing you to read all of them, either set a short expiry time for the feed so the unread ones get deleted after a day or week or whatever, or mark them as read so that they disappear and move on. some readers allow you to set filters to e.g. ignore articles with certain keywords in the headlines, if you’re feeling a bit extra.
No catch, its an extremely simple, old and reliable system. The apps also look great, and have options for different lists, etc.
The only “catch” is that many sites no longer offer a feed, in the past almost all did. Blame Google.
