Algorithms have the advantage of finding stuff for me that i wouldn't have even thought to look for. Is there any thing with RSS that sufficiently mimicks this?

I mean you have to subscribe to a feed to be able to see it and I don’t see how RSS could sync a feed you don’t even know about. I suppose if someone started a platform that everyone used to sync their feeds then people could uncover content from the RSS feeds of other users but that seems to take the really simple out of really simple sync (RSS)
