I stopped using Google news over two months ago and I don't miss it. In my not-so-humble opinion it was starting to feel clunky and it was overly difficult for me to set up a feed of what I am interested in. The app I am using right now (#flipboard) has been great and I have a nice customized feed in a large number of areas. It works well on my cell phone, ChromeBook in their app and browser version for Linux and Windows 10.
Same goes for YuckTube, I found a good app that just works and the ads are not intrusive.
Now to find a good replacement for FB where I can post items of interest for friends and family along with photos of family events. The site is turning toxic and most of the crap (to be charitable and not using profanity) that hits my feed isn't interesting at all. Family postings are either drying up or moving way down the feed. I have stopped reporting obvious bots, scammers and hate mongers as I keep getting the reply 'met standards'. It is almost at the level as the dead bird site.
