      I’m likening it a lot as it gives a perspective of who is behind my news.

      No OP, but I’ve been using it for a bit now, and while it’s not perfect, it does make it really easy to read news from other parts of the world and to look into the background of various outlets. It makes it easy to get around pay walls and article limits and It’s also, like, $10 a year… and it’s pretty easy to get a “1 dollar for a year sub” promo code from any random politics YouTuber. It’s been a decent way to keep me from just defaulting to Reuters and AP instead of reading other outlets, which I would say is it’s best feature for me.

        Does it have a nice feed with the latest news around the world and can you actually read the news there? I thought it was more of a news aggregator/comparison tool and I’m afraid that some news will be behind another pay wall or in some other website.

        Lastly if you have one of those codes (maybe one that benefits you I can have a look). For 1$ a year I can give a try myself.
