    Clear that this is not the view held by the rest of the community, though. Time for me to head out.

    If anyone knows of a really high standard (really, just actual journalism) news sub - no click bait, highly factual low editorial submissions - I would be interested. Don’t want to waste my life with speculative garbage like this posing as news.

      I don’t think it exists. What you’re looking for, I get with actual paid subscriptions to actual news sites. It takes several to get the spread of viewpoints I like, and of course I like them because I chose them all, lol.

      You want all that in a free sub. “No click bait, highly factual low editorial submissions,” indeed.

      For a free sub that works as a news aggregator, this community is great as-is: I very much appreciate the spread of articles as well as the time and interest people take to choose and post them. Of course some will be clunkers, but that’s on me if I clicked on them. No one put a gun to your head either.

      So if all this is beneath you like you say it is, then stop whining and start curating your own news feed with the news sources you like. It’s not like you’re actually posting any “no click bait, highly factual low editorial” articles yourself to lift the community as a whole.
