Hello,
Looking for recommendations for Google News alternatives. I’m getting frustrated with the feed getting populated with sources, articles, or subjects I’m not interested in. Spend more time filtering out the crap I don’t care about than actually looking at articles.
I don’t mind having suggestions on my feed, but Google’s algorithm is way off for me. I’m interested in tech, PC hardware, and video games mostly. But I’m getting recommendations for wrestling, a LOT of politics, and weird “reality tv” show news.
Kinda done with it now.

A lot of these suggestions are not really alternatives to Google News, as such. That is, OP is asking for something that does better recommendations of content. You could hypothetically, I guess, use RSS feeds as backends for source material, and expose a user-specific derived RSS feed of recommendations, but recommending content is not really what an RSS reader does.
Something directly analogous to Google News would index sites, build a profile on you, and then recommend content that you want to see.
Try Hacker News, it’s similar to Reddit/Lemmy (upvotes, downvotes, recursive comments), except more focused on tech news and random interesting articles. You can either read it at https://news.ycombinator.com or use a native client like the ones listed here: https://github.com/cheeaun/awesome-hacker-news

I’m a big fan of Ground News for general news. Their whole goal is to make the bias of the various news sources more transparent to you the reader.
I’ve been using Ground news a bit for a while, but have really come to rely on it since Rexxit as I had been using various subreddits for news aggregation.
I finally started paying for the basic subscription a few days ago… it’s certainly worth 83 cents a month.
Why does everything have to be a subscription. I miss the days of paying for an app once.
