I’ve realized that I check the news several times a day but not because I’m curious about what’s happening on the grand scheme of things, but because my brain wants to check something that keeps changing with new, evolving information. It fills a slightly different niche than social media, and I don’t watch sports so I don’t have that to check. Can anyone think of something else that could fill this need? I could read blogs but they just don’t feel current. And the news is making be stress about information I didn’t need to know.

    We do have bots are they are labeled and I haven’t seen bot nets driving narrative… Yet.

    Also engagement quality is way better. Even when disagree with comments, they feel like real people with their own opinions.
