## What Jamie wrote

Nearly all of the content that you see me sharing in the Weekly Thing comes to me via RSS. I use [Feedbin](https://feedbin.com) and it’s the best $30 I can spend online each year. I use [Unread](https://www.goldenhillsoftware.com/unread/) on my iPhone as well, but that is optional. I could use Feedbin directly.

RSS is an open-protocol. RSS readers that I pay for have a simple financial incentive with me as the customer. **There is no algorithm between me and the content I’m getting.** Know that all algorithms have a job, usually to increase your time spent, to make more money. I try to keep all of my content in a neutral time-ordered feed. 

Some services don't support RSS. Trust me, RSS is easy to support. If they don't, take that as a signal for how they view your privacy and opt-out. I keep a [list of my RSS subscriptions](https://www.thingelstad.com/lists/feeds) on my site if you are looking for inspiration.
