Relevance is in the eye of the beholder.
Or, to put it another way, relevance is a property of the relationship between the material and the consumer. You would have to know something about me in order to provide me with relevant (to me) news.
- mrweasel 5y agoEven if a media tries to make a guess as to what you view as relevant they might not get it right and the internet will go banans and claim that the site is suppressing relevant stories. Relevant can better judged in hindsight. I’d try to find an outlet which publish stories once a week, or less. That filters out the less important stories.

If it ceases to interest you, unsubscribe from that tag or snooze it for some months. You discover new tags by seeing them referenced in stories from tags you already follow. That's pretty similar to what Reddit does. And it doesn't even need much user data, other than the user expressing what they are interested in.
