Long-term look at Google News and other Newsfeed apps might not be so great. How upstarts like Artifact are aiming to remake the news app experience and why maybe the solution for the best news app is actually in an open web standard that goes back decades: RSS.
In this video we'll take you through why Josh eventually switched from using Google News to an RSS reader, our first look at the new Artifact app and how it compares to Google News and RSS and an in-depth how-to on RSS readers in general and how you can add 6 Months Later content to and RSS Reader.

Thanks for posting this! It motivated me to self-host my own rss reader on my server and get my news without ads! Very useful and informative information.

Sad that Artifact is shutting down. Really love the app.

Why is it shutting down

@ranphi Жыл бұрын

Glad to see someone else espouse the benefits of RSS! I try to limit my exposure to news since so much of it is garbage and can also be very upsetting. I've been using InoReader for many years now and really like it. So handy to have one service (and app) that pulls together the news from my preferred sites and makes it very easy to read/skip whichever articles I choose.

Thanks for this video. I’m so old, I was using RSS for feeds when it was new. It was a great way to get blog posts automatically.

Great video! For me at some point Google News started showing articles I've already read, which is when I knew I could stop scrolling. So for me it is doing the job at the moment but I might still have a look at the solutions you suggested because I'd like to have better control over my sources.

I can only agree with you. The google but especially the Bing feed are infested with click bait. I have blocked hundreds of those feeds but they keep coming. I'm for sure are going to try both apps. Hope they cab find content in my language (Dutch) thanks for another great video Josh 👍👍👍

I have been using Feedly's free version for a couple of years now and I've been on Artifact for the past few months. I watched this video because I was researching alternatives such as Inoreader, but this video helped reassure me that what I've been using works well.

Installed Artifact just now. First article I've read is "Shutting down Artifact" by the Artifact Team.

Happy RSS is around, I'm not a news app reader, but it's so important to the openness of the podcast industry. Can't say I'm super happy about podcasts becoming more and more exclusive to certain apps with some studios getting bought up by spotify etc.

I use RSS since Motorola Droid I think. In a combo with Pocket (since it was Read It Later and had a black and yellow logo) to save the content I wanna keep.

I use The Old Reader, although I don't know if they have a mobile app.

What I really want is Google news informed and prioritized by my RSS feeds. I tried the RSS reader based on the video and it didn’t really get me what I want. It could be because Feedly didn’t have the right capabilities. However, there is a ton of Clickbait that I wish google could get rid of. Thank you for the insights.

I use Inoreader feed reader. 150 feeds for free, or pay for more. KZfaq still has rss feeds they just hide them. Get the youtube channel videos you want sent to you ALWAYS, sidestep the algorithm!

SeaMonkey is still the best RSS reader. It is also free software.
