Part of the reason I use RSS instead of getting my links through social media is because when I like something enough to subscribe, I want to read all of it. Not to "dip in". A paradigm where I sample articles means RSS isn't as valuable for me anymore.

I do feel a little urgency to keep up since some me my feeds cover stuff happening in the world, and lose value if not read promptly.

I've seen takes similar to the author's before and they don't resonate with me. Maybe we just have different relationships with technology. The same way a watch telling me to complete my rings has no power over me because that's not a goal I chose for myself. The watch serves me, not the other way around.

Specifically if the RSS feed has all of the author's posts, I can easily catch up on my own pace.
