I'm still trying to make it work. Cultivating RSS feeds from sources with something interesting to say. Even most explicit rightwing sources are written by complete nobodies with empty life experiences. News at this point is pretty much Zero Hedge, Legal Insurrection, Memology, and Victor Davis Hanson's podcast. There are, surprisingly, a few /pol/ threads of value still.

The internet is invaluable for hobbyists. Nothing can replace it. I own a zillion woodworking books and I still find randos on the internet with better information. Maybe they just know their audience better and aren't filtered through an editor that insists upon generalizing content. For very, very niche subjects in technical fields, books are king though. For instance, there are zero insightful websites on nuclear energy. None. It's all second hand propaganda from industry shills who've never spent a day around a reactor. You've gotta really dive into published or declassified papers to get meaningful insights on the subject.

Streaming services are a wasteland now. Good riddance.

Hard to find good communities. I guess this is my go-to community, even though I didn't even know about Gamergate until it had passed.

Hacker News is kind of interesting. Tech bois with lefty views but still thoughtful comments.
