I wonder if there is a way to share your feed? Is there a platform for well-curated feeds, both on different topics, but even more so on different "mindsets"?
I feel like it would be very interesting, and I would probably even be ready to pay for someone to carefully pick interesting content, as I often feel like scrolling for hours only to find one great article (like this one was for me) is a huge price to pay.
This could even go for books. I try reading as much as possible, but it seems like 98% of books I find randomly recommended to me could easily fit into 10 pages, but instead they get drawn out into infinite repetitions because that's the only way nowdays to sell books. If someone was willing to charge me for a well-curated list of books with well written synopsis and a good indication of "Is it worth reading the whole thing even when you know the overall idea", I'd be a happy customer.
That sounds like Blinkist. They pitch it as a way to avoid having to read books, but it seems like you could use it to get the gist and decide if you want to read the whole thing.
Sounds like it, yes. However, re. my first question about sharing feeds and building a sort of community around it, I cannot really find anything interesting. But maybe twitter/reddit/HN are fulfilling this gap already, although not neraly to the extent I'm imagining here.

Maybe there are people on Substack doing this?
