Had not visited techmeme before. Was surprised about the amount of detail in the headings for articles. The opposite of clickbait. I wonder how much that is editorial intent or just happy accidents of culture. Not familiar with the site at all but could see myself coming back.
Techmeme is probably the most inside source on SV. It's read by journalists and definitely influences the more mainstream tech news sites like TechCrunch, The Verge. The Information is another very inside source but geared toward founders and execs because of their business model -- expensive user subscriptions (~$400/year). Quality is top notch though.
Reddit, BoingBoing, and one between Guardian and BBCNews depending on how I feel (Guardian editorial agendas piss me off so much on a periodic basis, I stop reading for months at a time).
Excluding core utilitarian sites like Google/FB and anything personal....
Bloomberg, YouTube, Stack Exchange sites.
I used to visit Reddit daily, had to stop to try to get away from Trump mania. I cut out a lot of sites that have gone off the deep-end in regards to 24/7 Trump, such as Business Insider (it had dropped in quality long before that, granted).
Curiously while I use Netflix and Amazon Video via dedicated hardware & TV, I never use YouTube that way (and probably never will). I believe it's due to the average presentation length of content on said services and the purpose (educational/informative vs large screen entertainment).
his talks on youtube are mostly based on startups, so I don't see them because I am not planning to start up any soon. his essays still have some general essays that I like reading.
