curation
focus
workflow
RSS Brain positioned RSS as a way to regain focus and intentional curation. It framed reading as a workflow problem rather than a feed addiction problem.
I read it as a control signal. Curation is a response to attention overload.

Core claim
RSS tools are resurging as a way to regain control of attention.
Reflective question
What parts of your reading workflow still feel algorithmic?
signals
- RSS is a counterweight to feeds.
- Curation is valued as a workflow feature.
- Reading tools emphasize focus over volume.
- Personal knowledge tools gain attention.
my take
The main shift is intention. RSS is not nostalgia; it is a constraint that protects focus and creates better inputs.
- Control: Curation beats algorithm drift.
- Signal: Reading tools are becoming workflow tools.
- Risk: Feeds erode attention over time.
- Workflow: Inputs shape thinking.
