I see. Thanks for this. I signed up and "subbed" to the journalist so I see it in my inbox to get me going. So you manually go through the sites rather than having some news platform/hub in one place to look at (aside from Cheat pages, which are dank as fuck, awesome tip).

Yeah, I do it manually. Subscribing to a feed means you get a narrowed list of "articles of interest to you".

And I'm sorry, but no fucking algorithm is smart enough to know what is going to "interest" me. My interests are broad-ranging. Wide and deep.

So yeah, page through 6 or 7 key sites' front pages. Look for articles written by certain names. Do it 2-3 times a day, and it takes maybe 10 minutes to get through and maintain on top of stuff. Practice. Habit. Etc.

Gotchya. Will add some sites to my hotbar. :)

EDIT: Just noticed your links lead to sites that aren't https. Odd, being what they are.
