I've switched almost entirely to AI news (basically research mode & give it 10 areas I'm interested in). It definitely has a issues in the detail, but if you're only skimming the result for headlines it's perfectly fine. e.g. Pakistan and Afghanistan are shooting at each other. I wouldn't trust it to understand the tribal nuances behind why, but the key fact is there. [One exception is economic indicators, especially forward looking trends stuff in say logistics. Don't know precisely why but it really can't do it..completely hopeless]

If all you're interested in are the headlines then why not just read the headlines?

  The aggregation is one feature, and the dedupe another. ie if you grab only headlines, how to avoid seeing the same or similar headline twice, given op wants to pull from 10 topics from a potentially large variety of sources.

  Especially in the case of aggregators, I like that they remove, or at least tone down, the sensationalism.
