Very useful I must say. I have a bunch of those with different filters on points. Means the same article will show up multiple times but in more and more exclusive feeds. This removed my FOMO quite nicely!

I guess we all have an incentive to make you go out of business then ;-) On a more serious note: I see no issue with software being a service and costing money if it's built on a standard that leaves the data in the owners hands and in
