> Can you state what hardship this has caused you?
It subjected me to a bunch of banal content on my homepage that I didn't want or like.

It occupied a second or two of my attention when opening a new tab. Sometimes I got suckered into clicking on an article, which I almost immediately regretted every time.

I clicked to disable it and moved on with my life. I find it unfortunate but not worth more than the two seconds of distraction it already took from me.
