not that long time ago I wrote this on HN >but what's the point of watching(/reading) news? why bother? >It's poor deal, it's not worth. >Just because I may learn some small things that probably do not affect me directly and additionally receive some news that make my mood worse due to hearing some yet another negative news about bad stuff / politics / yada yada, what's the point? >80% of the news I read is HN and some programming related websites and whenever I jump into "mainstream" media, then I feel like I'm reading some shit - click baits, tragedies, controversial stuff, drama seeking, celebrities >it's irrelevant for me https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27433589 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27433589 now, if I just managed to drop HN and Reddit then I'd be free I guess I'd have to change career.
