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.

      It really is good at labeling bias. What is really interesting is seeing what type of news just isn’t even reported by one side.

      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.

      That’s really neat. I don’t know how accurate their ratings are (and it’s weird to see the BBC labeled as “government”) but it’s a cool idea.
