I strive to only read news that I pay for and I think that info gaps are a risk worth taking to maintain my mental health.
I only subscribe to weeklies. I no longer see much value in daily news.
- qrobit 2y agoGenuine question: do you consider Hacker News news? Because I believe answer is yes (judging by the name). Maybe it would be good idea to once a week open some site that aggregates top HN posts of the week and treat it like weekly newsletter I guess every blog infrequently emitting posts can count as weekly news too, you don't even need to aggregate anything. RSS definitely helps to keep everything in one place though
- intrasight 2y agoI consider it a news aggregator. And with very insightful comments. I'll open up HN on my phone when I'm waiting around - to see what people are talking about. Since I can't click on the referenced articles (I white-list URLs on my iPhone), I only read the comments and not the referenced article. But even on my desktop where I don't white-list, I rarely open the referenced article. I can get a tl;dr from reading comments even if there wasn't an explicit tl;dr comment. HN has an awesome and open API so that certainly would be possible to create a weekly summary. And if it existed, I certainly would use it.
