Here's where the grading system again steps in: why not simply creating folders "Excellent", "Good", "OK", "Meh" or similar, to keep the good ones on top? That's exactly what I did and it's working much better than my social distance attempt. This has nothing to do with frequency of posts or primary topic. It's dead-simple: stuff that is, for me, the most engaging to read, comes in first.
Starvation is likely to occur in scheduling algorithms like those: less interesting ones on the bottom perhaps never make it to the top. For now, this isn't yet a problem as I don't have hundreds of feeds to go through and usually have my reader open once a day. If a series of posts draws my attention, I simply relocate the feed to a more appealing folder. Such a move happens once or so every two weeks.

If a series of posts draws my attention, I simply relocate the feed to a more appealing folder. Such a move happens once or so every two weeks. I also have a "To Evaluate" folder that could also be labeled as "Inbox" or "In Moderation", where new entries always start out.
I dislike complicated readers, AI-powered ones, cloud-based ones, and everything else that smells like "big data". I just want a _simple_ way to _enjoy_ reading others' writings. I think the new categories are set out to help with that.
