I agree but it's worse with science news. There are a few science sites that just cut and paste the press release from the university. When the press release is horrible but linkbaity, the only good part is that I can take a look at the research paper and wikipedia. So when it's reposted from another URL I can write a comment trying to fix the press release or debunking the article.

I actually prefer to read \newest . The discussions in the front page usually have so many comments and the discussion gets less technical. Repetition and spam is a problem, but it's nice to find a few jewels from time to time.
