I guess if you just follow a few blogs the tiny overhead isn't worth it. But I follow literally hundreds of blogs and vlogs, many that only post a few times a year. It would be a waste of time to not automate the aggregation.

To each according to his needs. I do not care about most of the content out there, and in my view very few people write things interesting, subversive or novel enough to justify following their activity.

You don’t have to read everything that comes up in your feed you know. You can even follow hn on rss and have aggregated content from multiple people on there.
