"Polygon And Giant Bomb Are Being Sacrificed At The Altar Of Slop"
"It's all interchangeable to them. It's all the same slop"
There's already too much slop in vidya gaem jurnlizm as it is. The very last thing anyone needed was for two of the actually halfway decent video game industry news sites to be destroyed and replaced with more fucking slop.
Oh well, time to remove Polygon and Giant Bomb from my Google News feed, I guess.
(Assuming I can figure out how to actually fucking do that, since it doesn't fucking work on the Android app. If I remove a source I had been previously following, it stays removed for all of about two seconds, then it just pops right back into the list again. Similarly can't rearrange sources up or down the list, either, because they just pop back to their previous positions almost immediately. [EDIT] It seems to be the case that I can remove sources via the actual desktop website version of Google News, at least. I still can't fucking rearrange them, though, because even on the website, they just reappear back in their original positions on a page reload. The ones I removed seem to stay removed, though, at least. And then they also appear to be gone if I check the phone app version as well. [/EDIT])
