I am old enough to have had mounts of photocopied articles piling up on my desk, but now thanks to modern technology, I can just see on scholar how many I flagged as interesting. That’s 12 at the moment, but most of them I will just browse and see if they’re worth studying deeper.
Among my quant colleagues, I have known voracious readers that keep current on everything in the field, but also people who read very few papers and dismiss most new publications out of hand. Considering that arxiv alone has 1000+ articles on quant finance, and we are only at half year, I see the merit of the latter approach, but I do like my regular intake of new stuff.
