my morning playlist is the music to Newsies, so I have a casual awareness of some of that.

True that the entire economic state of news has changed; nonetheless, I prefer the Newspaper Box model to the News Delivery model. The box model -- which is no longer inconvenient to digital users -- is a clear win to privacy and freedom from invasive algorithms, spam, and black box news-feed tweaking.

That tweaking is the sort of thing that makes feeds non-reproducible ("I read a thing this morning and can't find it now") and non-shareable, not to mention unknown forces "tailoring" the feed to what they believe users want, which inherently promotes clickbait and ideological contention.

Give me clean !
