The main thing I learned from my pocket export is that 99% of the articles were "unread". Not sure if it would make sense to extrapolate something about myself other than obsessive link hording from this. :D

Well, read or not you saved those links for a reason

Perhaps comparing your read/unread might tell something about your revealed vs stated preferences. I assume that the typical person's unread pile is mostly aspirational. I'm sure that there's lots of data on this - for example Amazon's recommendation graph may weigh our Wishlist items differently than our Purchased items.

I'm sure if you look long enough, you can find any pattern you want, and the opposite ;)

For many years I've used Pocket to give myself permission to get back to work.

Me too! I kind of wish I didn't know it was shutting down, and they just replaced the button with something that saves it to /dev/null without ever telling me.

Wallabag.it did a good job of importing my links. I think I singed up for $4 per month.
