MODERATORS
Most company-owned services are 1) Tracking your behavior 2) Going to upsell you (freemium, etc.) You think Feedly is 'free' - not really, they are collecting your info and have a team of marketers trying to figure out how to get $$ out of you, and will slowly gate features behind the paywall.
MinifluxRSS with Nextflux frontend (browser) and Caddy for Android. You can now write .py/etc. scripts to capture your starred items to Obsidian (or favorite PKB), run AI on those to summarize, tag, and organize. I find it easier and it will never 'shut down' or change model.
