I like to always have a great care when I post news stories here on Lemmy, I always piortize the adfree/ tracking free and non-profit sources.
But what I started to see here, is that people like to share the most greedy ad and trackers filled news sources.
It’s like if Nestle started a news website I expect it to be posted here frequently.
My reason for asking is that I usually see on Reddit, there is a good mix of quality and original sources, while here it seems that always the top websites posted here are owned by the greediest corporations.
What’s considered the “worst” vs “best” news source will always be an opinion for any individual user. You can’t expect everyone else to share your same values.
Some users may value their privacy more than others.
Some users value news sources based on how much information their journalists are able to provide.
Some users hate clickbait titles and so they avoid those.
Some users prefer smaller news sources that most others haven’t heard of.
For some users, the first thing that comes back in a search result is the best source.
Some users take the time to compare the information on the various sources through something like ground news and they try to pick the one that captures an interesting bit of information.
