I eventually disabled Recommended by Pocket on my new tab screen because the recommendations were typically clickbaity and being on the new tab screen, it would many times divert me from whatever more important original action I meant to take.
The creators probably had good intentions, but Recommended by Pocket seems almost like a dark pattern.

Since not all of the links are interesting, I'd like Recommended by Pocket to be able to learn from my input. I want to punish the uninteresting links and reward the interesting ones, so that I see more of something that I like.
