Do you not find that websites such as the above put out too much content, to the extent that new points and insights that you hadn't considered before get too diluted amongst the amount of time you spend reading said articles?
I do have issue with these sites, though I wouldn't have classified the issue as one of 'content overload'. My issue would be that they either: (A) Content is too vague and only skirts the issue headlined or (B) Content provided is too loaded with 'sponsor content' that isn't of too much value.
They have a very obvious contrarian tone. It has nothing to do with being liberal or conservative. Having read Zero Hedge for years now the "doom and gloom" assessment is not incorrect nor is it a partisan observation.
The problem with ZeroHedge is not its political point of view or contrarianism. Its biggest sin is that they bury financial topics under political topics.
I read Zerohedge from time-to-time. The problem isn't that it isn't liberal - it's that the comment section is utterly and shamelessly racist and antisemitic and the articles have been pandering to this lately.
I'm not exaggerating either: the comment sections are without a doubt one of the most horrible places on the internet that isn't a dark corner.
A little birdie on a certain American anime imageboard once told me that Zero Hedge receives financial support from the Chinese government as a way to destabilize American markets. The idea is that they get disenchanted Wall Street types to buy into bogus gloom and doom stories posted there, and then they proceed to make irrational buys and sells.
I didn't believe them at the time but it occurs to me now that Russia funding a project like Zero Hedge is well within the realm of plausibility.
ZeroHedge used to be interesting but has long since gone over the cliff. Their front page isn't even mostly financial news, it's full of Trump boosterism and things like the Milo protest (which of course they take the side of Milo).
O'Reilly has a weekly Fintech newsletter which is pretty interesting. It isn't weekly like most of O'Reilly's newsletters, but that can be a good thing as it doesn't have to stretch to find interesting articles.

I got a lot of good information about the credit markets and credit default swap markets that I was able to act on.
But they stopped publishing that stuff. So it is either just the one guy left, or several other lackeys that write the same kind of things.
It's called http://finovate.com/blog/ now and is still pretty good.
