Reading RSS content is a skilled activity

Shit's gotten weird out there. The internet has devolved from something that was mostly quirky and altruistic to something that, in many ways, is straight-up evil. Enter RSS: An opportunity to reclaim your attention through simple and open tech.

But, I'm finally realizing what was right in front of my face: The experience of using an RSS reader is and should be characteristically different than using other forms of social media. Over time, we can curate our little garden of content, make it diverse, and eliminate unnecessary noise. And that's also where the magic lies because it's that very process of engaging with content and deciding whether or not it has value to you that makes using an RSS reader a better experience and one where you own your attention.
