majority of things from the news has no impact on me at all



Some will, but probably not the ones that grab attention. For 99% of humanity's existence, if you even heard of ten people dying at once it meant that you were in extreme danger. (Or occasionally, had just finished putting the neighbouring tribe in extreme danger.)


Let's take one big example: climate change. Without the news, things would be different. It might never have achieved the level of funding and attention it has so far if it weren't for general public awareness.


He, you just couldn't do worse, right?

I have a Gopher site for that, from a really insteresting guy:

gopher.club/1/users/mmeta4/

No ads, no likes, no bullshit. Just pure text, some images and PDF's readable even under a Linux framebuffer.


well, but on the other hand I'm just one person, the rest (significant) isn't going to do the same (avoid news)

You can argue that this logic is flawed or something, but that's how it is in reality.
