I think it is a great site with real news, but without any of the sensationalism and hype. The fact that you've never seen anything from them shared should probably be a factor in this conversation.
The alternative site I'm talking about has to be in the same league as the competition but just less well known.
From the looks of it, Hamodia isn't even trying to compete with the likes of YWN. It's not an interesting news source and they don't market it properly.
The site is set up terribly for reading - not in reverse-chronological format, small words, tiny pictures, and they don't post on social media. If there's a breaking news story I wouldn't expect video or great pics. What stories on Hamodia are share worthy? Just because it's not YWN doesn't mean it's an alternative worth switching to.
