One should definitely weigh the value of a particular news outlet or social media service toward one's daily life, because it's definitely true that much of what these outlets offer is not of great value to anyone, but I dislike this sequestering approach. It views the process of taking in news as a miserable experience, but then goes on to encourage us all to offload that misery to another person to act as a curator. What happens then seems to be a siloing of misery, dooming minority groups to being exploited without any way of getting that message out to a larger audience, because only those who are actually affected by that particular bit of news will hear of it after the multiple layers of curation filter it out from the general audience.
