readeef VS newsboat

I self host https://github.com/urandom/readeef which I wrote some time after the demise of google reader

I've been using my aggregator since google reader died: https://github.com/urandom/readeef

If you're using https://newsboat.org, you can add a filter (killfile) to remedy this:

  ignore-article "*" "title =~ \"#shorts\""

I use newsboat.

I'm happy with newsboat[1]; but I'm not surprised that people have integrated scraping into RSS readers.

Fundamentally, that's not a problem with RSS, that's a war between scrapers and content providers. If the email newsletter model persists long enough, I'd expect that people will come out with "newsletter readers" that scrape websites too.

I'm not sure there's a good long-term solution to the problem. Aside from constant vigilance (obfuscation).
