What RSS reader do you use to keep up with all this?

I've been using https://www.inoreader.com/ for reading feeds for years and I'm pretty happy with it.
Readwise Reader is pretty awesome for this. Also stores all the highlights.
Do you just spend all your time reading stuff?
Aggregating these frees me to forget about them in the rest of my life. When I scroll to the end of the timeline it actually stops, with no distractions; I reach “the end of the internet” every day.
I just remembered that my phone tracks app usage. It says I’m spending an average of 27 minutes per day.
Do you use any tools to keep current on all these sites?
Not OP, but I find Inoreader quite good for that. It not only handles RSS but also will monitor "normal" webpages, forming pseudo-RSS, and will also monitor Facebook pages and other alerts.
Any feed aggregator will do. This is like choosing a web browser and largely comes down to personal preference.

Personally I use Feedbin with Unread.

Daily Ai aggregator: https://news.mioses.com
Disclaimer: hoerzu made this. Kinda uncouth promoting by replying to an unrelated high visibility post.
This is pretty much the only way to get a reply into the visible top part of a comment thread...
If you find yourself saying “Pretty much the only way to …”, it might be time to start questioning the morality of the continuation.

(Unless, perhaps, we want to discuss systemic behavior, incentives, and adjustments — ie Hacker News as a system and how to improve it and so on — , but to do that without casting doubt on one’s intentions, it has to be done in a way that does not appear to justify questionable actions.)

P.S. All of this coming from someone who you should not put on a pedestal, BTW. Do what I aspire to, not what I do.

What's wrong with self-promotion in comments? Is it against the rules or some code-of-conduct?
It's a self-endorsement without any contribution towards the discuss topic. I didn't want to flag the poster as they seem new, but this was explicitly against the community guidelines.

Imagine if everyone that had a blog, newsletter, rss reader, news aggregator site, or AI tool did this. What would that do for community and conversation? It would be miserable, we'd call it all spam.

Instead, I'd suggest making a root-level comment talking about the OP discussion and including their tool as part of their answer, as others have done. If they don't get visibility, so be it - that's how voting works.

Absolutely, please do mention if you’re self promoting. Otherwise, get lost?
