Doesn't the fitter remove serendipity from the feed reading process. Machine learning algos can't ever replace human editing. The messiness of feeds if managed correctly will often surprise you with things you wouldn't have otherwise read.
- conesus 15y agoI actually only use machine learning to present options for you to filter or highlight. Everything is explicit, which means you know exactly what you're missing and what's getting highlighted. (I refer to filter and highlight, but NewsBlur uses a traffic light of unread stories -- red is filtered, yellow is neither, and green is highlighted. You just flip between those three unread states with a slider control.)
