"..you don't believe what's next, bankers hate him!" would make this title complete. I am absolutely full of clickbait fluff. I really hope someone takes on the content filtering space on the internet. I would happily pay xx dollars per month for a service which can accurately filter all the noise coming in and mark or even completely remove all the shit that content creators feed us just so we click on it. Arguably, the technology needed isn't sexy but at least it is a challenge compared to the 1000th CRUD startup. Why isn't anybody battling this problem?
I am sick to the stomach of it.

- Wingman4l7 11y agoSomething that polled trending news in categories like "Entertainment" and pulled key phrases, and then filtered for said phrases might be a good start. Heck, considering how much of news is just re-posted AP wire content, you could block entire redundant chunks by simply filtering by a string long enough to be a unique phrase (surprisingly short, as little as 6 words [ https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2012/07/03/how-long-should-a-statistically-improbably-phrase-be/ https://www.plagiarismtoday.com/2012/07/03/how-long-should-a... ] )
- Kluny 11y agoI'm familiar with the type of articles you're complaining about and agree with the complaint, but I don't believe this is one of them. The title was interesting, the article was also, and it contained concrete examples and actionable requests. I thought it was pretty good honestly.
- onetwotree 11y agoYou know, with a title like this and the source, you probably could have filtered this out yourself. People on the internet disagree with you. Grow up and deal with it.
