> Yakread uses machine learning to rank the articles in your feed: as you click on articles from a particular RSS/newsletter subscription, other articles from that subscription will tend to be ranked higher in the future (via a bandit algorithm). Yakread also uses ML to recommend articles that other users have read, so your feed will have articles in it even before you sign up and add your own subscriptions.
I feel like you didn't need ML to do that.
> More ideologically, I think RSS is ready for a comeback
Ideologically, I love RSS too. I think it's one of the great achievements of the Internet, alongside with torrents and Wikipedia.
However I would expect that people who think like us are exactly the kind of people likely to be wary of delegating what they're reading to "AI". I love RSS, but if I wanted someone else to decide what I see I'd be consuming from Twitter or Facebook, not RSS.
What do you think about this?
