You actually need the news only once a day
Newsrooms these days are only interested in getting your attention.
That's why I like newspapers.
That's also why I like Kagi News.
It has only the most important news, updated once a day.
Over the past week, I did a little test with Kagi News, and I found that I missed very few articles and avoided fluff articles totally.
The only thing I get less of is climate news, but I have youtube channnels that I subscribe to for that.
