Ask HN: What sources do you ignore?
4 by nondeveloper | 2 comments on Hacker News.
When I’m browsing HN I tend to automatically ignore submissions based on their sources. Examples: Medium and lately Substack: Often formulaic, low-effort, or self-promotional. Aeon, Nautilus, Atlas Obscura: Long-form writing with little informational payoff, attention-bait. The Atlantic : Culture war click-bait. The New York Times , Bloomberg : Paywall, even if there is an outline.com or archive.[domain] link. Conversely, I tend to check out submissions from personal blogs and more scientific/technical sources like Scientific American and IEEE’s Spectrum . Does anyone else do this?
