Reasons Why I Love My RSS Feeds
- Everything is in chronological order.
- I can skip over articles I’m not interested in.
- I can mark all articles read if I wish.
- The only stuff that is hidden is the stuff that I want hidden. (I use filters in Inoreader for this.)
- If I want to reread something, I just select All Articles instead of Unread Articles and scroll back to find it.
- There’s nothing else between posts — no adverts, no suggestions, nothing.
- Readability view means that I can read articles the way I want to, rather than the way a web-designer wants me to.
- If I want to move to a different RSS service, I can export my feeds as an OPML file and use that elsewhere.
- I can share links to articles however I wish.
- My attention is under my control, not controlled by others.
