News headlines I didn't ask for are the worst kind of ads for me.

Attention grabbing, hollow ragebait made to misinform and divide.

That's why I find it so odd when I see people use or in their default configuration.
The amount of paid content blasted in my face is something i can't really tune out, like others seem to be able to.

It works with ads, so I guess the same filters work with News when folks train themselves.

@edorian not sure the filter "works" the way people like to imagine it does, unless by an impant which screens it before hitting the brain. The only filter that works is removing the content :D I never understood how people could use Twitter vs. Tweetdeck (no ads/promotions), or Linkedin for any signficant period of time.

@dantleech I've written same user-js to clean my LinkedIn feed every 500ms because I couldn't stand it.

Not that I just it much anyways, but it was a fun exercise in Dom & xpath

@edorian I might consider that, I only used it while pimping myself for a job, but expect I'll go back to it when this contract expires :D
