  Can't say I follow specific sites. I tend to check news agreggators, or those that have 'random' links like HN.

  Then when I check a link, I often look around on those sites to see if something else jumps out. Over time this produces some favourites due to their subject focus and/or style of reporting. Some current favourites:

  Slashdot, ArsTechnica, Wired, El Reg (The Register), The Onion, Hackaday, EEVblog, and any sciency site that is well-sourced & reports reasonably accurate.

  And leaning towards hw / electronics, general science or engineering advances, sometimes political subjects, not coding or such. But open to anything that expands my know-how or exercises my brain. :-)

  Btw: some sites are more interesting for their comment sections than the article content.

  I find that the appeal of blogs was seeing someone's latest thoughts, often on other blog posts. That has shifted to social media, so the new way to get the same experience is to follow interesting people on twitter/bsky/mastodon.
