I think step 2 has been figured out a long time ago: personal not for profit blogs and sites with an rss feed and a "links" section (preferably divided by interests). Such sites still do exist, but usually around various hobbies.
It could surf a bit on already established efforts in other domains and the narrative seem to fit with those ideas I think.
If intelligently produced text content is what is needed then perhaps we need to design a format that excludes, if not automatically diminishes, images and videos
Edit: I have not heard of it before this suggestion, but it turns out that this is something that already exists.
Gemini can also be fun for some mindless browsing, but has only enough content for one or two short visis per week (for better or worse).
