I’m amazed that it’s 2019, and we still haven’t figured out a good way to share interesting content.
The portals worked for a while, then came google and Facebook, and now we have nothing. I mean, if HN stopped how would you find anything interesting on the internet?
- adrianN 7y agoIn the same way you find interesting things in real life. You talk to your friends what they like and collect RSS feeds starting from that nucleus of websites.
- Aeolun 7y agoSwitch back to Reddit? Start a copy of HN and wait patiently?
- landhar 7y agoWebrings?
- Theodores 7y agoAnother thing that has failed: journalists. They get sent press releases and do the filtering. Something like 80% of 'news' is PR. But they don't want you leaving their news website. That would be bad for revenue, allegedly. Imagine a 'newsworthy' story about a budgerigar that can dance to jazz music. The source could be on a website that has all kinds of fascinating stuff about budgerigars. But this you would never know, perhaps you might get a link to the original tweet but that would be it, no link to the website that gave rise to the one thing that went 'viral'.
