Ask HN: What websites do you visit every day?

156 points by global-citizen 6y ago

I've only recently discovered HN and absolutely love the community. I stumbled across it from a comment over on Ars Technica and it got me thinking: what other sites may I be missing out on? People on here and Ars resonate with me, so I figure ask and see if there are others that might interest to me or other members of the community. I'll start. I religiously check these sites, in this order, maybe 4-5 times a day: 1. Sydney Morning Herald (smh.com.au) 2. news.com.au 3. Ars Technica (arstechnica.com) 4. Hacker News (here) 5. Politico (politico.com) 6. Fox News (foxnews.com)

My list changes somewhat frequently (depending on what's going on) 1. reddit.com/r/reddevils [For all things Manchester United] 2. substack : I try to write on a regular basis and this is also a place where I subscribe to newsletters. Some of my reading happens here. 3. nytimes : I have not been on this frequently. A break from news :) 4. hackernews : Out of habit almost.

If it's strictly "everyday", then only Hacker News, Google, BBC News, and Wikipedia would fit the bill. If it's weekly, the list would include some subreddits on Reddit (I like /r/ArtisanVideos), a local newspaper aggregator, our local Covid-19 official news, and some social media site. I do check some other sites of projects that I like and support such as FreeBSD, Debian, PostgreSQL, Clojure, ... or very local businesses that I support (local bakery, local foodshop, ...) on a monthly basis.

I've come to realize that most websites today do not have content worthwhile enough for daily visits. In general though paywalled content tends to be of higher quality. One well researched article offering a nuanced perspective is superior to 5 rapid-fire with little detail and ambiguous soundbites. I do not understand people that follow news pubs on social media. It is an automated firehose of headlines shown in no particular order, and the vast majority of them are not going to be of interest to the average reader. The website itself offers a far more pleasant browsing experience.

throwawaysea 6y ago
Over the last few years I've made a habit of trying to understand others as much as possible. Historically I only read left-leaning sources but after exposing myself to more, it became clear that I was blind to the other side's perspective. I've found that there was typically validity to multiple views on most topics, and that selection bias (what news sources choose to cover) was a big problem. So these days I visit a number of sources, which is easier today because there are sites that try to represent views from different parts of the spectrum. Staying informed does take time (at least an hour a day), money (supporting news via subscriptions), and effort (takes away mental energy from other things). Apart from the list below I also read and subscribe to a few different local news sources. Over the last several years, local news has been dying (financial issues) and I think that's a bad thing because it means you miss things happening around you that affect your life more so than national news, and because you only get a homogeneous national perspective (often reduced to a left versus right axis) instead of the more diverse issue-to-issue variation that is possible locally. I recommend identifying a few local sources near you if you have the time to read! UNCATEGORIZED 1. Hacker News (I check the first couple pages several times a day) 2. Matt Taibbi (https://taibbi.substack.com https://taibbi.substack.com - investigative reporting by a former Rolling Stone journalist) 3. Glenn Greenwald (https://greenwald.substack.com https://greenwald.substack.com - cofounder of The Intercept, known for breaking Snowden's revelations) 4. Quillette (https://quillette.com/ https://quillette.com/ - a news journal for intellectual conversations on controversial topics) 5. Stratechery (https://stratechery.com/ https://stratechery.com/ - analysis of news and economics of the tech industry) 6. ArsTechnica (https://arstechnica.com/ https://arstechnica.com/ - tech news, although I've seen increasing left-bias where their stories intersect with politics) LEFT LEANING NEWS 1. New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/ https://www.nytimes.com/ - just their notifications typically) 2. Washington Post (washingtonpost.com/ - just their notifications typically, but it seems like a mirror of NYT for the most part) 3. ProPublica (https://www.propublica.org/ https://www.propublica.org/ - non-profit investigative journalism) 4. The Economist (https://www.economist.com/ https://www.economist.com/ - good for economic news and international current affairs) 5. Vox (https://www.vox.com/ https://www.vox.com/ - news with a progressive bias) 6. Jacobin (https://www.jacobinmag.com/ https://www.jacobinmag.com/ - news with a far-left/socialist bias) CENTRIST NEWS 1. The Hill (https://thehill.com/ https://thehill.com/ - in my opinion, perhaps the most balanced news source out there today) 2. Axios (https://www.axios.com/ https://www.axios.com/ - useful if you're short on time because of how they summarize articles) 3. Wall Street Journal (their push notifications and The 10-Point, which is an email newsletter summarizing the Top 10 stories of the day, a members only benefit) 4. The New Paper (thenewpaper.co - free email newsletter summarizing the top stories of the day) 5. All Sides (https://www.allsides.com https://www.allsides.com - a multi-source news aggregator, with bias ratings) 6. Ground News (https://ground.news/ https://ground.news/ - a multi-source news aggregator, with bias ratings) RIGHT LEANING NEWS 1. Fox - (https://www.foxnews.com/ https://www.foxnews.com/ - right leaning news) 2. New York Post (https://nypost.com/ https://nypost.com/ - right-leaning news, stick to the News and Opinion and not the tabloid categories) 3. Reason (https://reason.com/ https://reason.com/ - I hesitate to label them right-leaning. They're pretty balanced and centrist, and libertarian more than right-biased) 4. The Post Millennial (https://thepostmillennial.com/ https://thepostmillennial.com/ - a newer news site that is willing to challenge the coverage of left-biased mainstream sources) 5. The Federalist (https://thefederalist.com/ https://thefederalist.com/ - right-biased news and opinion site) 6. The National Review (https://www.nationalreview.com/ https://www.nationalreview.com/ - right-biased news and opinion site) And then there's the usual social media stuff: 1. Reddit - just my main feed, carefully curated to unsubscribe from all the major subreddits, which are toxic and constantly brigaded 2. Instagram - I preferred Instagram when it wasn't overrun with politics and now I see almost exclusively political things due to who I follow. Even though you can't link to things easily, it somehow seems easier than Facebook's slow interface 3. Facebook - it's a wasteland but I mostly use it to follow news shared by particular groups and nothing else 4. LinkedIn - it's become increasingly like Facebook, with people mostly sharing political/activist things, so this may fall off my list soon 5. NextDoor - I try to avoid it because it is a political war zone but it's probably the best way to get hyperlocal neighborhood news I don't use Twitter anymore at all unless someone or something links me to a specific Twitter thread. I've found that Twitter is by far the most toxic and damaging social media service. I've been much happier, less anxious, and better informed since dropping it and shifting to "slower" news sources.

    Not much.

Everyday that will be Feedly, HN. Twitter and Youtube are very close but not everyday. And google of course, We cant do anything on the internet without a search engine. I am increasingly finding Twitter very hard to follow. And it isn't the content but my usage patten doesn't fit it. I want it to be more like a RSS Reader where all of my followed account are listed. And categorised by their Topic. So these group of people belongs to Tech, those belongs to politics etc...
- dantheman0207 6y ago
  You should try adding everyone to lists. Then instead of checking your feed you check the individual lists. It’s a nice experience.
  - ksec 6y ago
    I did, but the adding to list function doesn't work well. And they still clutter up my main feed section. Silencing them sometimes work and sometimes doesn't ( I have no idea why ). And searching doesn't work well either. It is a bit like Facebook, both got the basic right at the right time and fail to innovate thereafter.
- hopesthoughts 6y ago
  You can probably use Feedly to follow Twitter. If not you could use a nitter instance.

When reading everyone’s reply my first thought is how small the web has gotten... but that’s not really true. Everyone has just consolidated to the primary players and best content aggregators. Lots of HN, Reddit, etc. I hope we move to more federated systems but with RSS on a slow death march and no financial incentive to federate I suppose it won’t happen. Long live HN.

Arts & Letters Daily (https://www.aldaily.com/ https://www.aldaily.com/) > Arts & Letters Daily began in 1998 in the belief that the internet could be a vehicle for meaningful intellectual exchange. We’ve since linked to more than 17,000 articles, book reviews, and essays, an archive that adds up to a thinking person’s guide to the world of art and ideas. Denis Dutton, our late founder, called Arts & Letters Daily a "reading list — with attitude," which sums it up just right.

I've come to realize that most websites today do not have content worthwhile enough for daily visits. In general though paywalled content tends to be of higher quality. One well researched article offering a nuanced perspective is superior to 5 rapid-fire with little detail and ambiguous soundbites. I do not understand people that follow news pubs on social media. It is an automated firehose of headlines shown in no particular order, and the vast majority of them are not going to be of interest to the average reader. The website itself offers a far more pleasant browsing experience.

throwawaysea 6y ago

Over the last few years I've made a habit of trying to understand others as much as possible. Historically I only read left-leaning sources but after exposing myself to more, it became clear that I was blind to the other side's perspective. I've found that there was typically validity to multiple views on most topics, and that selection bias (what news sources choose to cover) was a big problem. So these days I visit a number of sources, which is easier today because there are sites that try to represent views from different parts of the spectrum. Staying informed does take time (at least an hour a day), money (supporting news via subscriptions), and effort (takes away mental energy from other things). Apart from the list below I also read and subscribe to a few different local news sources. Over the last several years, local news has been dying (financial issues) and I think that's a bad thing because it means you miss things happening around you that affect your life more so than national news, and because you only get a homogeneous national perspective (often reduced to a left versus right axis) instead of the more diverse issue-to-issue variation that is possible locally. I recommend identifying a few local sources near you if you have the time to read! UNCATEGORIZED 1. Hacker News (I check the first couple pages several times a day) 2. Matt Taibbi (https://taibbi.substack.com https://taibbi.substack.com - investigative reporting by a former Rolling Stone journalist) 3. Glenn Greenwald (https://greenwald.substack.com https://greenwald.substack.com - cofounder of The Intercept, known for breaking Snowden's revelations) 4. Quillette (https://quillette.com/ https://quillette.com/ - a news journal for intellectual conversations on controversial topics) 5. Stratechery (https://stratechery.com/ https://stratechery.com/ - analysis of news and economics of the tech industry) 6. ArsTechnica (https://arstechnica.com/ https://arstechnica.com/ - tech news, although I've seen increasing left-bias where their stories intersect with politics) LEFT LEANING NEWS 1. New York Times (https://www.nytimes.com/ https://www.nytimes.com/ - just their notifications typically) 2. Washington Post (washingtonpost.com/ - just their notifications typically, but it seems like a mirror of NYT for the most part) 3. ProPublica (https://www.propublica.org/ https://www.propublica.org/ - non-profit investigative journalism) 4. The Economist (https://www.economist.com/ https://www.economist.com/ - good for economic news and international current affairs) 5. Vox (https://www.vox.com/ https://www.vox.com/ - news with a progressive bias) 6. Jacobin (https://www.jacobinmag.com/ https://www.jacobinmag.com/ - news with a far-left/socialist bias) CENTRIST NEWS 1. The Hill (https://thehill.com/ https://thehill.com/ - in my opinion, perhaps the most balanced news source out there today) 2. Axios (https://www.axios.com/ https://www.axios.com/ - useful if you're short on time because of how they summarize articles) 3. Wall Street Journal (their push notifications and The 10-Point, which is an email newsletter summarizing the Top 10 stories of the day, a members only benefit) 4. The New Paper (thenewpaper.co - free email newsletter summarizing the top stories of the day) 5. All Sides (https://www.allsides.com https://www.allsides.com - a multi-source news aggregator, with bias ratings) 6. Ground News (https://ground.news/ https://ground.news/ - a multi-source news aggregator, with bias ratings) RIGHT LEANING NEWS 1. Fox - (https://www.foxnews.com/ https://www.foxnews.com/ - right leaning news) 2. New York Post (https://nypost.com/ https://nypost.com/ - right-leaning news, stick to the News and Opinion and not the tabloid categories) 3. Reason (https://reason.com/ https://reason.com/ - I hesitate to label them right-leaning. They're pretty balanced and centrist, and libertarian more than right-biased) 4. The Post Millennial (https://thepostmillennial.com/ https://thepostmillennial.com/ - a newer news site that is willing to challenge the coverage of left-biased mainstream sources) 5. The Federalist (https://thefederalist.com/ https://thefederalist.com/ - right-biased news and opinion site) 6. The National Review (https://www.nationalreview.com/ https://www.nationalreview.com/ - right-biased news and opinion site) And then there's the usual social media stuff: 1. Reddit - just my main feed, carefully curated to unsubscribe from all the major subreddits, which are toxic and constantly brigaded 2. Instagram - I preferred Instagram when it wasn't overrun with politics and now I see almost exclusively political things due to who I follow. Even though you can't link to things easily, it somehow seems easier than Facebook's slow interface 3. Facebook - it's a wasteland but I mostly use it to follow news shared by particular groups and nothing else 4. LinkedIn - it's become increasingly like Facebook, with people mostly sharing political/activist things, so this may fall off my list soon 5. NextDoor - I try to avoid it because it is a political war zone but it's probably the best way to get hyperlocal neighborhood news I don't use Twitter anymore at all unless someone or something links me to a specific Twitter thread. I've found that Twitter is by far the most toxic and damaging social media service. I've been much happier, less anxious, and better informed since dropping it and shifting to "slower" news sources.

I also use this website to see the content and if I like it enough to buy it. I have bought several books that I haven otherwise havent because of this.

Everyday that will be Feedly, HN. Twitter and Youtube are very close but not everyday. And google of course, We cant do anything on the internet without a search engine. I am increasingly finding Twitter very hard to follow. And it isn't the content but my usage patten doesn't fit it. I want it to be more like a RSS Reader where all of my followed account are listed. And categorised by their Topic. So these group of people belongs to Tech, those belongs to politics etc...

dantheman0207 6y ago
You should try adding everyone to lists. Then instead of checking your feed you check the individual lists. It’s a nice experience.
- ksec 6y ago
  I did, but the adding to list function doesn't work well. And they still clutter up my main feed section. Silencing them sometimes work and sometimes doesn't ( I have no idea why ). And searching doesn't work well either. It is a bit like Facebook, both got the basic right at the right time and fail to innovate thereafter.

You can probably use Feedly to follow Twitter. If not you could use a nitter instance.

Fox News? Why...

global-citizen 6y ago
I like to get an understanding of the different angles they take to "news". I actually detest them so I guess it's a bit of keep your friends close and your enemies closer.

NewsBlur (newsblur.com). If you're a site that requires regular visitation, and you don't have an RSS feed, you don't exist to me. (HackerNews RSS via http://hnapp.com/ http://hnapp.com/, FYI)

I have RSS feed sent to my email , so I don't check anything twice. Just a linear stream of emails that I have become exceedingly efficient at scanning. i currently go through 400 articles a day and it takes me about 10-20 minutes to filter them down to a dozen to read.

When reading everyone’s reply my first thought is how small the web has gotten... but that’s not really true. Everyone has just consolidated to the primary players and best content aggregators. Lots of HN, Reddit, etc. I hope we move to more federated systems but with RSS on a slow death march and no financial incentive to federate I suppose it won’t happen. Long live HN.

mraza007 6y ago

My top ones are, 1) HackerNews 2) GitHub 3) Browsing my own email box since I’m subscribed to alot of mailing lists 4) Lobste.rs 5) Reddit

1) Use inoreader to read many RSS feed headlines and click through to articles of interest. Top RSS feeds: BBC, NYT, BusinessInsider, HN, various personal interests. 2) Facebook: family, friends, and topics of interest. 3) Twitter about 3 or 4 times a week or when something topical occurs. 4) Youtube: first goto for educational and some entertainment videos 5) Amazon: shopping and prime videos 6) Netflix 7) EBay: some things are much cheaper here than Amazon, also bargain hunting and some selling 8) Yahoo finance: stock market 9) Google search, gmail, maps, translate 10) Craigslist: local stuff 11) Wikipedia - background on any topic + read home page daily

Arts & Letters Daily (https://www.aldaily.com/ https://www.aldaily.com/) > Arts & Letters Daily began in 1998 in the belief that the internet could be a vehicle for meaningful intellectual exchange. We’ve since linked to more than 17,000 articles, book reviews, and essays, an archive that adds up to a thinking person’s guide to the world of art and ideas. Denis Dutton, our late founder, called Arts & Letters Daily a "reading list — with attitude," which sums it up just right.
