You used an article that explains why someone does not read the news to promote your news site. According to the article, Swartz wasn&amp;#x27;t looking for an alternative way to consume news: he decries the news industry as a whole. I&amp;#x27;m all for self-promotion on HN when it&amp;#x27;s relevant, but Grasswire appears to be exactly the kind of thing Swartz would not be interested in.&lt;p&gt;If you were selling books or long-form journalism I could understand your post, but as it stands it&amp;#x27;s blatant self-promotion. And I say that as the founder of a news company.</text><parent_chain><item><author>austenallred</author><text>I, strangely enough, agree with Most of what Aaron says. And I&amp;#x27;m the founder of a news company.&lt;p&gt;I worry about this attitude on a macro scale, but it&amp;#x27;s hard to argue with on a micro one. I spend most of my day following what&amp;#x27;s going on in the world, and it hasn&amp;#x27;t added much value to my life. But I worry about everyone not caring. Not because that would kill my company (I started it because I hate news in its current form too), but because there are times when public outrage changes things. It&amp;#x27;s like voting - my vote doesn&amp;#x27;t matter, but on aggregate it&amp;#x27;s everything.&lt;p&gt;I&amp;#x27;m convinced that the goal of a good news publication should be like Google - to get you in and out the &amp;quot;door&amp;quot; as quickly as possible understanding what you need to know. We&amp;#x27;re rebuilding everything around that. A publication one can consume in thirty seconds with the most important stuff, ruthlessly curated and fact-checked. No entertainment gossip or puff pieces or PR pitches.
