It’s always good to be in control of your own content sources.

  • My number one visited reddit site was r/soccer. Discussion and highlights was half of the draw, but breaking news was the other half. Unfortunately, using RSS to get a collection of news/Twitter updates doesn’t really provide value because I never really know the source. On reddit, there was always a bunch of comments or a highly upvoted comment that shared the reliability of the source. Quite often, there were reliable journalists working for shitty publications, so you could generally trust them despite not being able to trust other news on the site. I’ll miss that.
