Hacker news is a biased crowdsourced recommendation system for individual articles. It skews towards the interests of a programmer from the bay area. There's probably 5 articles a day I enjoy reading from hacker news. There's a lot of misses too - how often do we click on a hacker news link and instantly close it? I looked into scraping substack to find individual writers and highly rated ones (through subscriber counts). There's some good writers like Heated by Emily Atkin. Though - do I want to read climate change articles all the time? I found that for some newsletters I lost interest after some time or some topics didn't interest me. Reddit is also a crowdsourced recommendation system with its subreddits. I find some subreddits good like r/dataisbeautiful. I found this subreddit through a referral from a friend. People use twitter to ask for good newsletters as well. |
