Media diet

I've been tweaking my media diet recently for three goals:

1. I don't want to be exposed to advertising.
2. I'd like to avoid some big companies.
3. I want more honest news.

I already pay for a few big newspapers and use uBlock with my browser Helium, but I still get ads on the mobile versions of news apps like the New York Times and Bloomberg. Considering how much these subscriptions cost, I think that's pretty silly.

And it's very clear that those papers haven't been writing honest coverage of some important world events.

So, here's what I'm listening/reading/watching more often:

• NPR Plus is $96/yr and listening to 1A and Consider This cover most of my audio news needs.
• The Guardian is $90/yr and is ad-free for subscribers.
• News As Facts is good for global headlines and exclusively links to Wikipedia for terms, which is where I go anyway.
• Nebula is not quite a YouTube alternative, but it has a few major creators who I follow, like Adam Neely, and lets me watch their videos without ads for a relatively cheap subscription ($30/yr).
