I've largely stopped actively following news because
I'd like to read summaries of a given week's news on the world, EU, national, and maybe local level once a week, tho. I'll check if there's anything like this for the world and EU scale and report back here if there is.
News apps are the worst because the algorithms will shove more of the same articles at you. "You liked a financial article? Ok, here are 50 more that are virtually identical." Then there is the constant click-bait. It has gotten to the point where I skip any dramatic or open ended headline because I know it is actually nothing.
Shit's happening in the world. You can do nothing to stop it from happening. This is in stark contrast to everything else going on in your life.
Yeah, and the small part of the the news that can affect me and/or I have input about is what the news summary should be about - thinks like Chat Control, climate change, or AI deepfakes.
