> It’s harder to choose sources due to the plethora of choices That's sort of why print magazines are/were helpful and approachable - they're an easy entry point with curation, discoverability, and an editorial staff. They're also somewhat self-contained rather than being an endless rabbit hole of attention-grabbing links (those generally being limited to the cover.) Arguably the best thing about HN and good aggregation blogs is that they provide curation and discoverability as well as some degree of editorial commentary. And hopefully they're not managed by attention-maximizing algorithms. The abundance of options and content - even if you were to limit yourself to a specific category, such as peer-reviewed articles in a particular field, or a particular medium, such as youtube videos - from online ources can be completely overwhelming.
