> do you really want to put out a post that you yourself might find useful, but might be considered shallow, low effort, repetitive, non unique by your readers, and a waste of their time?

Yes. If some of my readers don’t like that I do that too often (or even once), they can unsubscribe.

Meanwhile, _as_ a reader, feeds like RSS and Atom are super useful. They let a computer check my favorite sites so I don’t have to.
