It's not sarcasm. Firefox used to have a built in RSS feed, but instead of modernizing this by not requiring sites to setup a RSS feed and using algorithmic rating to find the best article they got rid of it altogether.
The last thing Mozilla should be spending time and money on is some kind of hosted algorithmic discovery feed. There are a ton of those out there, so if you want that you can get it anywhere you like.
RSS feeds were great because you could choose what you wanted and opt in to them; using algorithmic analysis would require not only a lot of infrastructure and dev time but also a lot of data collection and all the privacy concerns that comes with it.
