Should we leave behind the joy of curating our own content?

There is joy in the journey more than the destination.

For a while, I’ve been reading blog posts, articles, and comment threads about various tech and finance topics. I initially found it convenient to have a Medium subscription, as I thought it would allow me to have a feed automatically shaped by my interests. However, I ended up reading articles prioritized by clickbait, echo chambers and bias.

So, I canceled my subscription and switched to Hacker News. I have discovered amazing independent writers discussing fascinating topics. Eventually, I started collecting these RSS feeds in one place, creating my own “Medium”

I believe that’s the true purpose of the internet: to be free to decide where to go and what to explore. There is joy in the journey more than the destination.

If you’re curious about the blogs I follow, you can download and import the OPML file into your RSS reader of choice.
