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.

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.
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.
At least call it Rexit, damn
You called?
Two ds: two xs.
Why does everything have to be a subscription. I miss the days of paying for an app once.
You’re not paying for the app… it’s the service. I use it mostly from the desktop browser.
And you can get the basic functionality for free.
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.
