Read Blogs

I was reading a random blog post the other day, after watching a video about how social media platforms incentivize rage bait content and suddenly a thought hit me. A small sample of the 300+ blogs I currently follow. I think, out of most of the people I know, I manage to see the least rage bait. Why is that? I think it's because, unlike most people these days, I read blogs not social media. I read the news, of course, and that makes me mad. But the news isn't the same thing. I don't see the kinds of bizarro-world content that proliferates on Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, etc. because I just don't spend time on algorithmic social media. I watch a lot of YouTube, but it's almost entirely videos made by a carefully curated list of creators I've subscribed to for years. I rarely trust new channels these days. Other than that, I read the news, I read magazines, and I read blogs. Want to read more blogs yourself? Put these files in your RSS reader: Try these Indie Bloggers or these…
