I tried RSS for coindesk and cointelegraph but it was just a flood of hourly crypto movements and such. I wanted something a little more "big picture" haha.

Hey, are you me?!

I came to the same conclusion. I’ve been using Reeder on MacOS. So many feeds these days do not have full content but the Reeder app can be configured to pull all of the text (minus some of the images).

Anyway, these have been my favorite feeds categorized by interest:

• The Atlantic and Wired for Culture
• Ars Technica, The Verge, VGC, IGN, Push Square for Gaming
• Torrent Freak for Piracy
• Wired for Science
• The Verge for Crypto
• The Verge, Wired for AI
• Hacker News (frontpage with 250 point minimum), The Atlantic for Technology
• 9to5Mac for Apple

You’ll notice that some sites show up multiple times but that is because I subscribe to sub-feeds for my categories of interest.
