I prefer independent blogs and websites from anyone who appears to interesting.
It doesn't matter to me what the subject.
Its frustrating plowing through hundredss of duplicate aggregated news links, and at my age, very draining.
I cannot, for the life of me, understand the need for people to share news links that have already been duplicated by every single news organisation on the planet.
A Guardian headline for instance, will be in the Independent, Euronews, Reuters, WSJ, NYT, and every newspaper in the entire world.
Most people I am sure, read or watch the news, either online or on TV. We don't need the duplicated links.
I have recently read Ecrits by Jacques Lacan, at no time did I think. OOh! I better upload a link for those wonderful people on HN to read it, just because I enjoyed it.
How narcissistic and smug of me to even think that.
I personally have had enough of this and block all news from HN with Ublock origin
If I want to read BBC news, which I dont, I will open their webpage and read it.
here I block the BBC news so that it does not show on HN
