Ask HN: Instead of finding a Reddit alternative, why not just go to the source?

I don't think there is any need to explain what's happening with reddit. Since then I finally managed to leave that every increasingly meaningless timesink. I have replaced the different subreddits I used to consult with blog and news-sites, either directly or via RSS. Which websites do you use eveyday to get general news about your interests ? For me I narrowed it down to:

- Hacker News

- IndieWire

- GameInformer

- Tor.com

- Newsarama

- The Brussels Times

I get the content I wish to be aware of and more while sinking WAY less time scrolling on my phone/computer.
