I’m not sure what kind of news app you work on, so maybe this doesn’t fit, but what this makes me think is, you’ve optimized for putting the “best” stuff in limited real estate, but why does there need to be news headlines algorithmically ranked and dumped in front of me in a place that I’m not looking for them (e.g. the “home” screen of my smart TV)? If it’s an app where you are consciously seeking news headlines, maybe there’s a good case for collapsing the raw deluge of news into a recommended front page, but I still feel like we’re losing something. Recommendations are never good, and always corrupted by what the business wants to push on me, but even if they were good, the hyper personalized world is just weird. I’ll never be able to ask someone, “did you see the paper today?” Instead I wonder if they’ve been pushed the same stuff that I have and if we live in the same universe.
