i wonder how seamless this will be since mbin even uses the term 'magazine' for its groups/forums.
anyone familiar with this content? curious if this is a good source or maybe just a corporate ad pipeline
I always disregarded it since it came as bloatware on my old samasung phones
A Samsung endorsement is faint praise, yeah.
It’s a bit of both, tbh. I use both it and Apple News for news curation. Flipboard is by far more ad-centric (and AN has more content) but Flipboard is pretty customizable for identifying topics so I keep it around. Flipping through it, every second or third page is an ad, but most of what they link to is available (at least for me) and they’re not overly swamped with clickbait (again, at least in my feed).
I probably use it about 1/3 as much as AN.
IMO stick with mbin/kbin. Flipboard literally "flips" news from other sources and rebrands it.
I'm not sure about their citation and recommendation methods but they appear to be algorithmic? So yeah, I'll take a human-curated aggregator any day.
