I like this idea if it focuses on a specific subject, but I don't think it works as an aggregator.
During the 2016 election there was a FB Messenger app called purple, which would send out 1 message per day with the news on the election. It allowed me to ignore all the headlines and clickbait because I knew that Purple would tell me everything real and useful.
With news aggregation, what I find interesting is highly personable to me so trusting a human to figure this out doesn't seem like the ideal approach.
Obviously google news is nailing this, but leans towards clickbait. Something like pocket offering this customized aggregation could be cool if they were optimizing for me saving articles, not just clicking on them. Of course Pocket does have suggestions and I completely ignore them.
