Thinking about why I've tended to avoid RSS, there is a consumption vs exploration divide in my mind that I feel RSS readers lean the wrong way on. That is probs an assumption I should challenge in my own thinking.
At some point you have to stop exploring and actually consume what you've collected. I think that's one psychological trick of infinite scroll feeds... our minds naturally want to see what's next. Personally, I spend more time searching and saving things to my various lists instead of actually watching or reading what I've saved.
