Hello,
Looking for recommendations for Google News alternatives. I’m getting frustrated with the feed getting populated with sources, articles, or subjects I’m not interested in. Spend more time filtering out the crap I don’t care about than actually looking at articles.
I don’t mind having suggestions on my feed, but Google’s algorithm is way off for me. I’m interested in tech, PC hardware, and video games mostly. But I’m getting recommendations for wrestling, a LOT of politics, and weird “reality tv” show news.
Kinda done with it now.
I’m a big fan of Ground News for general news. Their whole goal is to make the bias of the various news sources more transparent to you the reader.
Allsides.com also does something like that. Not sure which is ultimately more accurate in their rating though.
I’ve been using Ground news a bit for a while, but have really come to rely on it since Rexxit as I had been using various subreddits for news aggregation.
I finally started paying for the basic subscription a few days ago… it’s certainly worth 83 cents a month.
Why does everything have to be a subscription. I miss the days of paying for an app once.
It never works. I’ve indicated that I don’t want any royal news for as long as I’ve had Google news. It still populates my feed with garbage
Try Hacker News, it’s similar to Reddit/Lemmy (upvotes, downvotes, recursive comments), except more focused on tech news and random interesting articles. You can either read it at https://news.ycombinator.com or use a native client like the ones listed here: https://github.com/cheeaun/awesome-hacker-news
