idk about that, a lot of news sources feel like they're optimizing for clicks too. where is some boring neutral news? then am i to broken to even stick with something like at this point lol maybe i need the clickbait
i agree with the main point, social media isnt the world. i think people forget that
- mtlmtlmtlmtl 4y agoThey are, because they're competing for people's attention through social media. And so, Facebook's dark patterns to some extent poison everything.
- jfim 4y agoThere are some news sources that are less click baity and partisan, such as Axios, DW, or Reuters. If you can read French, courrier international is decent too.
- pjerem 4y agoCourrier International is totally worth the reading and its concept is pretty smart : most of their article are just translated articles from foreign ( = not France based) newspapers. It allows the reader to get a view of the current topics from the outside of the country. Furthermore, by its nature of being translated, this newspaper have to be "slow" and can’t fall under the "breaking news" clickbait temptation.
- Syonyk 4y ago> where is some boring neutral news? In print form. That comes to your physical mailbox. Newspapers are OK, but magazines are better, if you want "State of the world, processed and digested, after the fact, without the outrage of the moment leaking in." I subscribe to... honestly more than I get around to reading fully, but part of it is to simply say, "Yes, I value this type of writing and information, please keep producing it."
