I use aggregators because I like commenting not just reading

I remember when everyone was killing RSS, hell Firefox even removed their built-in one, now people are waking up.
I started using NetNewsWire on iOS and it works great. Developer has been updating it constantly with all sorts of improvements and moving away from algorithms to my own personal list of RSS feeds has been a breath of fresh air
RSS is one of the things I have been using for ages. I setup all my favorite news sources and just browse it instead of going to any one website in particular. It works great and makes it so much easier.
I love RSS feeds. One thing I'd like to work better is for websites with comment sections. It would be cool if you could read the article and have the possibility of the comments to also show up. I know some websites have separate feeds for comments, but I never understood how to make that into a usable experience.
I use feeder in my phone the last 5 years. I shouldn't have dropped my personalised RSS feed 8 years ago.
The thing is, I would like some algorithm. Are there RSS readers that have a Bayesian trainer or some other way to figure out what I'm actually interested in?
Yes, nunti. You give it your rss feeds, and you either like or dislike items. It recognizes what types of things you do and dont want to see, and prioritizes that.
It's all open source, so you could mess with it if you want. There is some built in ability to tune parameters.
The downside is you can't cluster your feeds. E.g., sometimes I want to read the news, and sometimes I want recipes, but with nunti, it's all combined.
