News content is no longer news
I'm a 20 year aol customer. I use to get the majority of my news from the aol home page. No longer though. The first 2 or 3 items are as far as I go, because the remaining 75 or so items are a waste of my time, and I would think many others as well. Filled with topics generally found in People magazine. Not news. Maybe separate hard news into a dedicated category. I'd be glad to try again.

Well, I am about fed up with the news feeds. It has fallen to 75% of them are just ads in disguise, or pop culture tidbits. I could give a **** what Kim K or any of that ilk are doing, wearing eating, dating, etc.. Ten years from now nobody will hardly remember them. If I wanted to read the National Enquirer I'd buy it. How about some real news? Devastation in the Amazon, Locusts in Africa, advances in electric cars, anything real would do. Get some new people picking the "news" items, and quit trying to make it into just a advertisement section. I'm quickly finding being a paying member isn't worth the money at all. The other day I clicked on a "quiz" and it proved to be a hacker telling me my computer was taken over (it wasn't fortunately). If you scan your content that poorly why should anyone use it?
