Most of what you read online today, reached you because an algorithm decided to show it to you. An RSS reader does the opposite: you get to pick the blogs and channels, and everything new from them collects in one feed, to be read at your convenience. This gives you the freedom to consume content of your choice, and lets you control your information diet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
