I like to always have a great care when I post news stories here on Lemmy, I always piortize the adfree/ tracking free and non-profit sources.
But what I started to see here, is that people like to share the most greedy ad and trackers filled news sources.
It’s like if Nestle started a news website I expect it to be posted here frequently.
My reason for asking is that I usually see on Reddit, there is a good mix of quality and original sources, while here it seems that always the top websites posted here are owned by the greediest corporations.
I imagine it’s because that is the source that the person saw the article on and/or they don’t notice the issue because of adblock/pi-hole.
I’ve done that a few times where I link a site that’s broken without adblockers, or it has a paywall that only shows up part of the time.
Gentle reminders help! It might be cool to have a bot that checks a resource like ground news and links to the same article on a few alternate sources
