News publishers already have feeds. So you can mix in as you like to get NYTimes right next to Uncle Jim’s fakenews.
There’s no algorithm, just based on publishing order. Maybe mix in some flags that let you see if others have disliked things with that same URI.
We need more protocols and less platform.
An algorithm that weaponises jealousy, FOMO and outrage will always out-monetise a benign or no algorithm at all, over any financially viable timescale. The algo doesn’t “know” of course. It just knows that showing you X has historically made you spend longer on the site than Y.
The only way to win is not to play.
Or ideally more effort put into feeds by sources, so we get better curation of the feeds to start with.
When Google Reader was killed, my account was just a stressful pile of thousands of unread items. The occasional gem was drowned in the noise.
I use RSS extensively to follow blogs and news sources. There are even many that put ads into my feed, which is cool by me.
