In ShopTalk (https://shoptalkshow.com/677/#t=41:40), @chriscoyier and @davatron5000 talked about my recent post about RSS, and the curation challenge posed by RSS when you mix together high-volume feeds like The Verge with more infrequent posters (solo bloggers, etc).
This is partly why I have a "news" feed that's separate from my "newsletters" feed in my blogroll (https://www.mollywhite.net/blogroll): the "news" feed is typically for high-volume outlets with multiple writers who publish multiple times a day, whereas newsletters tend to be solo or small groups of writers publishing ~weekly.
By separating them, I avoid ~weekly posters getting drowned out in a firehose of more frequent news. It's a little more up-front curation, but it works well!
