"There is a Remnant there that you know nothing about. They are obscure, unorganized, inarticulate, each one rubbing along as best he can. They need to be encouraged and braced up because when everything has gone completely to the dogs, they are the ones who will come back and build up a new society; and meanwhile, your preaching will reassure them and keep them hanging on. Your job is to take care of the Remnant, so be off now and set about it." https://mises.org/mises-daily/isaiahs-job

I'm pulling in RSS feeds and publishing articles for each item. when I do so, I set the published_at date to the same as that of the RSS item, but leave the created_at date on the event to be the present. this seems like the most protocol-respector way of doing it. but now I am running into the pain of returning articles from a certain date, filters can generally be made to apply to the presence or absence of tags, but not "since" or "until" type of operations on the "published_at" tag. tl;dr - are there any obvious drawbacks to back-dating the events so I can filter appropriately at the relay layer?
