Hello,

Looking for recommendations for Google News alternatives. I'm getting frustrated with the feed getting populated with sources, articles, or subjects I'm not interested in. Spend more time filtering out the crap I don't care about than actually looking at articles.

I don't mind having suggestions on my feed, but Google's algorithm is way off for me. I'm interested in tech, PC hardware, and video games mostly. But I'm getting recommendations for wrestling, a LOT of politics, and weird "reality tv" show news.

Kinda done with it now.

I used Feedly before defaulting to reddit as sites slowly collapsed RSS functionally.

Curious to know as well, but most of the time I see a couple sites mentioned that I haven't been impressed with their ability to sift the trade mags and studies I was in it for.
