Wow, $299/year. you weren't kidding.

I assume this is targeted at professionals that are trying to stay abreast of developments around certain topics/subjects. If you think about it through that lens it's reasonably priced, I suppose.

lol all these RSS readers really go in on solving problems as broadly as possible - not just ocean boiling, it leaves each user with a subpar experience even if it’s novel (having to laboriously refine results yourself). it would be easy for them to for instance scrape many popular news sources or APIs for ranking/top story info to at least cover these extremely common and extremely noisy feeds

Yes. Feedly seems to be marketing itself at investors and speculators lately (or trading bots I suppose), because they're using NLP to highlight and categorize articles based on whether they mention acquisitions, mergers, leadership changes, etc.

Feedly seems to be marketing itself as whatever interest group they think you are, because they're using NLP to highlight and categorize articles but at least for me not regarding whether they mention acquisitions, mergers, leadership changes, etc (though some of the articles my feed do) but rather whether they mention new security vulnerabilities or attacks - and I'd guess the same for many other specific niche domains.

I also saw the "new exploit" notifications. It may just be a question of feed curation, too.
