I'm glad to hear that "good news" is getting some attention. A rule of thumb I was taught was "bad news spreads faster than good" - People expect good things and will make you aware of bad things.
That being said, I am a little concerned this is just a band-aid on a bigger issue. We have too much information/news coming at us. Selective filtering the news (or "personalizing" it to sound like cynical) is the same issues with why one half of the US political system claims the other is "fake news". Not to mention Huxley's idea we shut ourselves further off from the world by consuming more of it [1].
Maybe its the working late on a Friday making me cynical today, but its a fun feature. So, good on them!
