I. Do. Not. Care.


Do you know what I would like?

I would love to have the ability to go to a news website and list tags of the articles I do not want to have clutter up my screen.

Just give me three tag. Let them expire in a week. I can always reset them if I am still in overload.

This week I would set two of my flags as Markle and Impeachment. Next week I might set different flags.

This would provide the news sources with feedback about market over-saturation. Why piss away resources on Kardashians (for example) after most people stop caring? Interest quickly fades to apathy and then turns to active dislike. Why would a news source want to fall behind the curve?

  1. Okay...but how would a news source benefit by enabling people to use technology so that their articles could automatically be flagged to be blocked or hidden?

  2. Okay, I've recovered from my delirium. I withdraw my question seeing that you've already stated their potential benefit. If only "news" sources were interested in serving their customers rather than being responsible for "driving the narrative".
