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.

    A lot of these suggestions are not really alternatives to Google News, as such. That is, OP is asking for something that does better recommendations of content. You could hypothetically, I guess, use RSS feeds as backends for source material, and expose a user-specific derived RSS feed of recommendations, but recommending content is not really what an RSS reader does.

    Something directly analogous to Google News would index sites, build a profile on you, and then recommend content that you want to see.
