A couple of YouTubers I watch promoted this and given what I assumed it did, I'm surprised that's all it does.

If it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

Something that has been making the sponsorship rounds now is Ground News[0] which I have found very useful with just the free tier. But given how many people I have seen sponsored by them, I wonder if there is some catch, especially because I can’t imagine that many people sign up for the paid service. I can’t think of what that catch would be though, they do not have unique access to personal data, and I haven’t seen anything that would indicate that they have any information agenda.

If you look into the founding of ground news in 2018 it looks an awful lot like an intelligence agency operation.

Care to elaborate? Sounds potentially interesting but I doubt many people are going to do a deep research dive based on a vague single sentence post.
