So long, 9to5 Mac
What are some great (tech) news RSS feeds that contain full articles?
Adding an RSS feed as topics in my site
Generic RSS feed reader?
I’ve been reading 9to5Mac for years and in that time, they’ve had generally good content. Recently, though, I’ve decided to take them out of my RSS feed, at least temporarily.
It started several months ago with their posting (and weekly re-posting) of the same wireless CarPlay article, masquerading as a real review. I actually thought at first that it was an issue with their CMS, but I realized it was intentional. Was this review actually an ad? After what seems like a dozen re-posts without any indication that it was an ad, I just don’t know.
Over the past couple days, something new has emerged: every headline image on their site has a “Sponsored by CleanMyPhone” logo embedded. Why is an article sponsored by a company? Is it slanted in the sponsoring company’s favor? Did that company ask for that article to be written? What does “sponsored” mean?
I get journalism is paid for by ads, but the line keeps blurring with these guys. Hopefully they do a course correction sooner rather than later.
I'm scouring the internet for RSS feeds to news sites that don't abbreviate their articles in the feed, and make me click through to their website where I can watch ads. What are some great site recommendations for international news and tech news? Or blogs, for that matter?
I'll start:
