Ask HN: What is your best paid news/content source?

I read a wise comment on here not too long ago that when media is free, it's your attention being monetised, and so the content is geared more towards your attention than valuable information.With that in mind, what are the best paid sources of content you use on a regular basis?

Re:Finally, I Closed My LinkedIn on Thursday June 11, 2020 @06:09AM (#23487119)
> I'm fairly certain LinkedIn has never helped me in my job search. This is likely not true for everyone, but I'd go so far as to say that unless your profile is exceptional for some reason, it probably does more harm than good. You and I are just another candidate in a tall stack—ie. our profiles are more useless information they can use to cross our name off.

This is exactly the problem that sparked us starting https://otta.com - we speak to job seekers on a daily basis and the overwhelming feedback we hear is that LinkedIn really doesn't help people. We're doing our best to change that - just in London right now, and just for tech companies, but soon (hopefully) everywhere.

I'm one of the founders of https://otta.com - we're specifically focused on helping people find exciting roles at fast growing tech companies in London (but we don't include FAANGs).

Anecdotally, DevOps and Reliability is definitely a space where experience is valued and, although there might be the assumption that many of these startups drink the youth cool-aid, I think you might be pleasantly surprised.

Ask HN: What are the best resources to learn about performance marketing?

We're in the early stages of experimenting with performance marketing (PPC on Google, Facebook, Instagram etc.) and have been running a few small experiments.Given we now have baseline figures for what ballpark CTR, CPC and CAC figures could be, we're now trying to figure out what the most effective levers are which we could use to optimise.If anyone has any thoughts or go-to resources, I'd...
