I had the same problem of finding interesting blogs to read, so made a side project - https://www.discoverdev.io Curated and tagged list of top engineering blog articles everyday! Do check it out :)
How are you handling the tagging on this? By hand, 3rd party service, algorithm?
2. Hackernews
3. Google News
4. Refind (I am in marketing)
I have a blog post about what I read via RSS here (http://bit.ly/2s6ghd4)
Also as a side-note about Twitter: I find that if you only follow human beings, and create lists of brands and other accounts that you like, your feed narrows, your engagement goes up, and real networking can occur.
HackerNews and the programming subreddits so far have done the trick for me.
Mattermark Daily ( https://mattermark.com/category/mattermark-daily/ ). Best curated startup/VC news, once a day in your inbox, done in 5 minutes or less. No affiliation.
OFFTOPIC: avoid it at all cost. Energy, time, attention, focus = the most valuable resources out there. Valuable content will find you anyway.
"Attention is scarce. Information is not. Do the math." That being said, I've found valuable book recommendations here on HN and other select boards. I've found that switching from short-form reading, videos and podcasts to longer form reading not only leaves me feeling happier, but is also far superior for quality of information taken in.
TL;DR - stop wasting your time with "daily content discovery" and instead focus on gaining a deeper, richer understanding of the world through reading well written books.

Most of it is automated using some basic ML foo. you can read our about page for more info. All posts go through manual quality check and retagging if necessary!

I don't know how valuable content would find me if I didn't have a routine for looking for it. Am I doing something wrong?
Yes, probably expecting too much content to find you, all being valuable. Valuable content will be a very small minority of content. What the parent means, is that you really need to know, will end up rising from the pile. Take React as an example. A fine technology, which some might have known about them from 2015 or so, by reading HN every day etc. But you really don't have too catch them that early -- nor is there…
> The "routine looking for valuable content" on the other hand, would just bring in tons of noise (short term fads that die off, useless fanboyism, etc).
This is the exact same reason I don't watch or read the news: http://www.mrmoneymustache.com/2013/10/01/the-low-informatio...
I have a friend that is a collector. Every now and then I ask him what's new. By far the most efficient use of my time.
