The problem I run into is most news sites optimize for 2 things

  1. Getting on google
  2. Getting linked on Twitter or Reddit

So most sites have a fuck ton of noise and carpet bomb ads.

I'd love to go back to the RSS model but it's hard finding sites worth reading again.

I really agree - I've stepped away from reading so much of what's online because it's all clickbaity junk with no substance. I'm not sure where to look for actual content to put in my reader. But I'm making forays.
