    At least google news actually stops showing you stories from the publications you remove. This is just bad.

      I wish they’d let me block entire topics, though. I don’t ever want a horoscope but it puts that shit in front of me every single day.

          Why would they permit you to have such agency on their “free” platform?

        Interesting. I mindlessly swipe over to the news feed on my Pixel more than I’d like to admit, and it only gives me horoscope type stuff very rarely… Definitely not frequently enough for me to bother trying to block it. I wonder why you’re seeing so much more of it?

          I’m using the Google news webpage, without fail it shows me horoscopes and sports every day no matter how many times I tell it that I’m not interested.

            Ahh, going to the Google news webpage on my phone does give me quite different results compared to when I swipe left from my phone’s home screen.
