Lately every article feels like wading through oatmeal to find one grape; I just want the nut, not the shell. Any outlets still leading with the goods - tight, reported pieces without the SEO padding - or a trick I can use to cut through the fog?
Reuters and AP still lead with the goods; Axios and FT’s briefs are solid when you just want the nut, tbh. Quick hack: use Reader Mode or the site’s AMP/print view to strip the SEO padding so you’re not wading through oatmeal for one grape.
Same oatmeal vibes; my hack is Ctrl+F for ‘said’ or ‘%’ to jump to the reported bits, then bail if the nut isn’t in graf 2, tbh. If you want something that leads with the goods, Bloomberg’s First Word is solid — are you after markets or general?
I run most sites through Feedbin and cap the preview at two paragraphs; if the nut isn’t in that window, I bounce. Do you use an RSS reader, or are you mostly in-browser? It trims the SEO oatmeal and saves me a couple minutes per article.
