I use RSS a lot but it is not without it's own difficulties.
My collection of feeds is naturally geared to my own interests and world views. As a result I do find I miss out on some things I should pay attention to. To counter this I include a fact checking site which brings stories I would otherwise miss to my attention. Not ideal, but it works.
This is very much true, and one of the downsides of RSS is that you need to make effort to discover new sources, or make sure that what you're consuming is at least somewhat balanced. However you have no guarantees of the latter when you use algorithmic feeds.
