You're right, I didn't define 'relevant', though I appreciate the Congo story. Examples, since you asked: 1. I don't care about Miss Universe (one of the stories in the link). 2. Sports are low value except for championships. 3. I want Covid stories batched where I can look at them if I want to look at that, but where they otherwise don't clutter everything. 4. The Midwest tornadoes are relevant, but human interest stories about one of the deceased candle workers are not.

I guess "relevant" depends on where you are in the world (and/or where you're from which might be different to where you are currently) :)

It's also a tricky thing due to interconnectedness: I generally don't care that much what happens in the US, but clearly there are important things happening there, which can have knock-on effects the world over...

> This news about conflict in the congo is not really relevant. Why not? Or does it have to be a "technologically advanced" country to be relevant?
