I'm working on this project, so slightly biased.
First, we show you both the chronological display in a list mode. That allows you to browse through things quickly and filter out what you're interested in manually. The personalization is used in combination with the image style layout. On that screen we try to surface the most interesting information.
Second, yesterday I was browsing quora questions about features of RSS readers. The most requested feature was personalization to help deal with information overload. I think some percentage of users doesn't need personalization, but the vast majority do.
Personally I was a big fan of Zite, I used that app everyday. Pity they were acquired and shutdown.

- tschellenbach 10y agoI tried for a few weeks, but couldn't get Flipboard to show me content i'm actually interested in.
- walterbell 10y agoTo get Cover Stories to be useful, it was necessary to downvote many of the initial selections, unfollow some tags, follow other tags, then upvote the few stories that were interesting. It gradually got better. But yes, there were many stories of poor relevance or quality. One problem is that the UI takes more clicks than Zite to rate stories and select tags.
