Personalization does not arise from passive use. Consider the converse, articles from a list of user selected sources. That sounds more like personalized news. Besides Google News used to function that way so I think I should be entitled to my opinion of how it should function.

Oh, just found out that Google News has what you're looking for: go to headlines section.
I opened the app and found it weird that there were news about Taylor Swift, the British royal wedding and a lot of other topics that I'm not interested in. Then I noticed I was in the "headlines" section, and not the "for you" section.
I'm glad they split both up.

What a horrible UX, loading it in “Incognito mode”, no.
Isn't that exactly personalized news?
But you can just load it on incognito or signed out and not have any personalization other than location/country.
