I’ve thought about subscribing to the NYT, the WaPo, and a few others over the past couple of years, but they are all really… I don’t see the value, or the quality. I guess quantity makes everything I look at just watered down. Like hell I had a ArsTechnica subscriber++ for a year and it just didn’t make sense to stay subscribed. Wired trial for like 6 months, same. And those are relatively cheap, and still weren’t worth it.
I get nearly all my news through Reuters (and largely like them), but I want to diversify my sources a bit. But they all seem to be ‘meh’, and the topics closest to me (tech and lgbt) I already get from a few sites that I trust. Is there any (other) major news source that can actually be better than mediocre, or is my bar way too high?

I have a bluesky account just so I can follow this list of shared free gift articles.
Nice, ty =)
I remember getting Wired magazines in the mail, and really looking forward to reading about what was new. That was a long, long time ago.
Were they ever?
Have they ever been? I thought people just paid them to get corporate propaganda telling them which company they should invest in.
