The idea is appealing but I feel that there is a conflict between

I would not like to stare at the same board for two years between updates, so probably I would end up manually re-organizing my client according to the feeds that get updated, or just unsubscribe from the ones where the author seems to have dropped off the planet.

Newspaper classifieds and comic book ads are different each issue and therefore there's some pleasure in scanning through them. Today's algorithmic feeds on social networks may optimize too much for engagement at the expense of quality. (Twitter started putting complete strangers' tweets at the top of my timeline, on topics like "Marvel" that I have no interest in.) But the solution to this is not to avoid algorithmic curation completely.
