        Obviously! I love his newsletter, The Browser, and I’ve emailed him before, but no reply. He was probably too busy “reading.” I do think he’s a fairly accessible person though. He organizes these little happy hours for the Browser community in London.

        But yeah, my feeling about this style of hyper-aggressive reading is mixed at best. I think the whole “1000 articles per day” thing is a bit of marketing/hype. But, regardless, he digs up excellent content. Sometimes, some of his daily five suggestions are almost as good as the Readup AOTD! :)

          This is why I like you, Bill. You say what I want to say!

      To identify whether an article is clickbait (based on headlines) or not comes with the experience of reading a lot.

      I put quite a lot of trust in headlines, oddly enough, because I figure that headlines are written by loyal allies of the writers who are paid to find and express what is best in the piece. So if the headline writer cannot produce a compelling headline then that is a very strong indicator that there’s not much good in the piece.

      I agree with Jeff, we need someone like this here. I don't know how he can manage this. I can't imagine myself reading more than 15 to 25 articles a day, and since I have work and a lot of hobbies other than reading, I usually don't even manage that.

      Fascinating! I agree with his article criteria - “I hadn’t thought of that”, or “That’s interesting”, or “I like that writer.” He feels the real guarantee of quality in a piece is that the person who’s written it is great.
