In The Netherlands the teletext system of the Dutch public broadcasting system does still exist and has a loyal following. It's also available on the web [1] and as a mobile app.

Even nowadays I still use it a lot myself for a quick catch up of the news. Some of the benefits: - Since space is limited, the news stories are ultra short and to the point - No ads - No "related stories" - No toxic comment sections - No misleading 'thumbnails'

It doesn't take longer than a minute or two to catch up on the most important stories.
