Yeah, but you don’t need HN to tell you to look (I assume you check what you pay for). There’s a whole lot of these paywalled things and they’re all just noise unless there’s a free alternative.
* Ukraine says Kherson counter-offensive against Russia has begun
* Inside Liz Truss's not so special relationship with the US
* Ukraine war updates: White House says Russia has "pulled resources" in response to Ukraine offensive
* EU to unveil emergency measures to curb soaring energy prices
* Nasa cancels launch of moon mission after engine trouble
* US justice department says it has reviewed Trump's Mar-a-Lago documents

* Crypto and climate change: can web3 help get us to net zero?
* Is $110mn man Jake Freeman lucky gambler or conviction investor?
Then it goes into their "Explore" functionality, billed as, "Take a break from the news with our recommended stories for you":
* ECB chief economist sees benefits of raising rates in "smaller increments"
* Honda and LG to build $4.4bn US battery plant
* Olaf Scholz outlines new EU vision with call for European air defense scheme

...and so on.
So no, this being here is not "useless".
Seriously how do people see comments like yours and think HN is any kind of special?
This is Hacker News, not Yahoo Finance or some such alternative.
