>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.
