It’s done. A few weeks ago — so many, that one should probably speak of months instead — I visited my RSS reader for the first time in years. I was faced with 1000 unread items.
So I read them all. Some I skimmed. Some were short comics. Some were duplicates. But over many weeks, I reduced that „unread“ number more and more to, well, as of today: zero.
One of my main motivations: To not let chance and a social media algorithm decide if I know about new stuff from my favourite thinkers and collectors.
Maybe my second biggest motivation: To switch my RSS reader. I used The Old Reader since the death of Google Reader (RIP), but will use Feedbin from now on.
Yay. And all of that just in time for the new year.
Rarely have I felt so proud of consuming something.
