That's true.
In this regard, I would be curious how other people consume sites like marginalia.nu or neocities. I could realistically see myself skimming over a handful of random blog posts everyday and see if something catches my attention.
It would need to be a ritual with boundaries (like daily ten or whatever) for me, so that it doesn't spiral into something similar of a time sink like the scroll of doom pattern that exists on other sites.
For something like this, RSS would probably not be the best medium anyway (I use newsboat for example, which is a CLI program) and it would need to be on the site itself.
But if everybody did that (assuming nobody has time to really compare 300 entries) everyday, will there be enough of a sample size to make a community-driven curation work? Or would people fall into a pattern of just appreciating everything that holds their attention for more than a few seconds, and then move on without having read the whole thing after all? Resulting in some almost uniform distribution, that is.
I think the problem is complicated because there's social dynamics at play, and it doesn't make for an actionable ticket.
A best-of feed is only a shortsighted approach, albeit worth trying out I hope.
