@catzilla @tg @brentsimmons I think I use my RSS reader (NetNewsWire) differently and more like I used to use printed newspapers. I skim the titles (headlines), read the articles that interest me, maybe flag one or two to read later (kind of analogous to clipping an article from the paper to read later), mark everything read (analogous to putting paper in the recycle bin), and I’m done.

If something jogs a memory of something I skipped over that I want to go back and read, I go back and find it and read it (like digging the paper out of the recycle bin and finding the article but faster and less messy). I never felt any obligation to read every article in a newspaper I paid to receive and I definitely don’t feel any pressure to read every article from every feed I subscribe to. Skim, read what I want, then a single click or keystroke and I’m done. (2/2)
