Yes the anti-vax stories are also on top of my lists. I know the elite rather have me seeing stories about how Iran is evil and needs to be liberated, but I prefer these stories. /s Maybe if everyone just shut up about everything we could all get some peace. Those who know don't say and those who say don't know.

If you stop reading then you’ll live in a world where everyone shut up.

>Maybe eventually news outlets will have enough information about you that they will figure out how to serve you better.
They don't gather that information to "serve you better" they gather it "serve you up better"! They are going to use the information to grab the attention of your eyeballs for their own purposes not to better serve you. Remember if your not paying for the product you are the product.

It totally depends on what you mark good and bad.
If you mark shallow, screaming articles as bad and they continue serving them you’ll soon switch to another platform.
It’s in your responsibility to use the tools wisely.
I mostly use Apple News for reading news and after a few months of marking stories as good or bad, it's getting better and better at showing me stuff I actually want to see.
