My point is that the “manage your own filters” model is a good candidate
for why almost everybody (expert or not) left Usenet.

  That's a trip, 'cause I'm totally the "roll your own filters" kind of
  guy. I even took the Usenet approach and ran with it for my news fix.
  I whipped up this gnarly little Python script that scrapes headlines
  from all these news sites and wire services, then it goes HAM
  on filtering everything. You can bet your last avocado toast
  if there's a peep about Kim K, that noise ain't making it to my
  eyeballs! At the end of the day, my code spits out this sweet little
  digest with all the stories that made the cut. If anything slips
  through the cracks that I'm not vibing with, I just tighten up the
  filter. It's like, how do people even function without this setup?
  It's as essential as my morning cold brew from Blue Bottle, I swear.
