Content should be pulled
Content should be pulled, not pushed. I should be the one who chooses to consume something. I want to read something because I want to read it, not because some app pushed me to do so.
As I have tried to reduce my time on social media lately (without leaving my friends behind), I noticed that almost every social media app sent me more push notifications the less time I spent on it. Have you seen this post? Check out your friend's new story! Sometimes I even received notifications timed to the current date that led me to comments or posts made weeks ago, just because I hadn’t engaged with them at the time.
I want to control when I receive new content, not anyone else. That's why I love RSS—it allows me to catch up on all the important things at my own pace, without anyone else deciding when I should do it.
