What Is a Feed?

FOLLOWING VERSUS REMEMBERING

Most of what you want to keep up with isn’t one video or one post — it’s a source that keeps producing. A feed is DailyTube’s word for exactly that: any account you follow, so its new posts come to you instead of you going to find them.

THE 30-SECOND VERSION

1. Following beats remembering — most of what you keep up with isn’t one video, it’s an account that keeps producing
2. A feed is any account you follow — added once, delivering forever after; channels, X accounts, and subreddits all count
3. Feeds are followed; sources are the one-off links you hand-pick per run
4. Each run pulls only what’s new — quiet feeds contribute nothing that day, and runs can be feeds alone, sources alone, or both mixed

A FEED IS A SUBSCRIPTION

A feed is any account you follow: a YouTube channel, an X account, a Reddit community. You add it once, and from then on DailyTube watches it — every new post shows up in your summary without you doing anything.

Follow the channels that matter, and the newest from each one lands in the same brief: no checking 5 apps, no fear of missing the thing everyone will be talking about.

FEEDS VERSUS SOURCES

Feeds are the subscription half of DailyTube. Where a source is 1 link you hand-pick for 1 summary, a feed keeps delivering after you set it up. The distinction is simple: feeds are followed, sources are hand-picked. One is a subscription, the other a request — and DailyTube summaries can carry both.

HOW FEEDS WORK IN A RUN

When a summary runs, each followed feed contributes its newest posts — not its history, just what’s new since your last brief. Paste sources into the same run and you get one summary that covers both: what you followed and what you picked. If a feed goes quiet, it simply contributes nothing that day; if it dies, you’re told plainly instead of getting a silently thinner brief.
