BUG: Hub Site no longer displaying newly published news from associated site

OF COURSE this has been a bug for four years; wish I had found this article earlier. I've had a ticket open with Microsoft for SIX MONTHS on this, and the tech has literally just been emailing me twice a week for the past few months only to tell me each time, "I just want to let you know that I am continuously pinging our escalated case, I will update you once we get an update from our internal team." Just going to add this to my ever-growing pile of issues that'll likely never be fixed.
