Added more sources to tromnews.com/ . Honestly it is super difficult to find good sources of news nowadays. For 3 major reasons:

1. Many want something for you, be it your attention (ads), data, or currency (subscriptions) and this practice of trade pushes them to create click baity news, and bad quality ones. It is damn difficult to find more objective news even when it comes to science. Like most tech websites are either paid articles (ads), or talking about "fahionable" nonsense tech like the new shitphone. No real tech news about real tech discoveries. On top of that they are incentivized to post a ton of news, constantly. So we get spammed on tromnews.com.

2. News sources are very politicized. And we need no politics if we are to remain sane. Politics is a shit show and will always be biased and full of crap. But even sci/tech news is full of "politics" and interests.

3. News sources repeat the same "big" story, even when it comes to sci/tech, and thus we end up with duplicates.

We want reliable news from sci/tech and if possible society (bit not politics). And that's hard to find. If anyone knows any sources, please tell us. #tromlive

About the big video-on-demand companies and the harm they are doing:

Take this documentary, The Dissident. About a very known journalist killed by Saudi Arabia for speaking against their primitive regime. It is a confirmed story by any major journalistic investigative organization. But the distribution of the documentary is either super slow or non existent, and that's likely because Netflix, Apple, Amazon and the like, do not want to lose business opportunities with Saudi Arabia. It is business-based-censorship. You can read more here and here.

Yet people still use Netflix, Amazon, Apple, Youtube and the like. And do not feel angry about them censoring content, especially based on business plans. These big-boys don't really care about "ethics", or "gore", or nudity, or conspiracies, or stuff like that, since their platforms is full of these. All they care is about their business doing well, and if that means nudity has to be censored, they will; if that means stuff criticizing China or Saudi Arabia, then that content is out!

It also goes to show how "paying with currency for content" is neither better or worse than paying with your data or attention. In other words, a streaming platform that runs on ads and data collection, is as bad as one that runs on paid subscriptions. They all are incentivized to put their profits first.

On another note, based on the above example, how ridiculous that we are trapped by these imaginary entities called companies for such things, when we can so easily distribute such documentaries or any media to everyone in the world that has an Internet connection. Via Bittorrent, via Peertube, via many means.

We make the documentary available via VideoNeat and directly via Peertube, because the world needs to be aware of such stories and get away from this primitive imaginary boundary of companies, patents, copyright, money, and so forth.

Enjoy! Share! #tromlive
