MODERATORS
People use Google News? I left the notifications on and 90% of them are news articles I saw here or elsewhere 1-2 days prior.
I use it to skim through headlines and pick through various sources on each topic. There's probably a better free news aggregator out there, but I don't know what it is.
I've been using https://ground.news thanks to a recommendation from the folks over at Some More News.
Highly recommend.
Ground is weird. You start off by selecting topics that interest you. There are 24 topics to select from before you start. Some are broader like economics, technology or environment. But others are Bernie Sanders, Xi Jinping and Tucker Carlson?? Why are they more important than say the PotUS? It‘s a little baffling.
I use it every day, but I have noticed a lot of shitty articles outside of local.
I tried using it for a while and kept saying I'm not interested in this topic on nearly everything, but Google News just keeps being shit. Can't even call it news mostly.
