One Thousand News Items

You would think that people would appreciate having some insight into my internal monologue.
-
It is certainly valuable and interesting.
-
I get weird looks when I talk to myself with people around me...
-
Not here, no one bats an eye.
-
Well, I give you weird looks sometimes.
-
Whatever, not like I can actually see you.

Am I the only one who finds @scottalanmiller constantly talking to himself kind of weird?
Seems completely normal to me.
Seems normal to me also - people talk to their pets... so why can't I talk to myself... We find it normal - well of course you do... People keep saying you're not right... Oh jeeeze.. not that line again..

How come? Is it that you dislike getting news here? You dislike having a user account dedicated to news to make it easier to filter? What aspect of MLNews do you not like?
-
How would a filter work?

No Idea but you couldn't filter to only that if you wanted to either as the search sucks so much.

You just see that it is MLNews posting and if you want to ignore those news items, skip them. It's manual, but takes like zero effort.

Feeling very unloved.

Correct, I do not like to come here for my news that you deem relevant. not sure if you've noticed, but they dont normally get much traction. MLNews seems to post in a swarm pattern, and it's just annoying to me. now, if i could filter MLNews so it wouldn't show up in my feed, and aj, that'd be great!

Swarm pattern was addressed in another thread - it's when the site is slow and creating content for the people looking but not talking.
News gets posted here, getting it mostly posted by a single, obvious user seemed an improvement. The news won't stop, that's just how communities work. MLNews is not the only user posting new, it just makes it easier to filter out (visually.) If you look at SW, for example, they have an equivalent account (called Lee) posting news all day too.
Traction is not expected on news items, so that's no surprise. Sometimes there is a bit of traction, normally very little. But that is the expected pattern. If you look at news sites, they get little conversational traffic too. But that's because you don't tend to "talk about" news since it isn't an opinion, it's just the news.
