WIth instant gratification leading to addiction (for me) on Social media and the internet, I'm considering trying the old fashion newspaper. (lemmy.cafe)

I'm looking for lower than instant gadification resources for the news. If I get a news paper weekly, rather then just constantly checking the internet for what usually ends up being the same stories, just another outlet.

There aren't too many of these news paper companies today, and if there are other ways to reduce instant gratification for news that yall know you can mention them in this post.

I think that's a good idea, and you might consider a subscription to a news-adjacent magazine, like The Atlantic, Salon, Vanity Fair.

One of the things that I do is organize my Freetube subscriptions into interest categories. Motoring, Academia, Whistler (the Simon Whistler Empire of Channels is pretty darn good), some others. That way, I can go put information into my head without it being every single news outlet video clip.

I also pick exactly one place to interact in comments sections, and right now that is fediverse. All other internet comments are dead to me.
