filter out posts without required context#157

Currently, my feed often includes things that I have no context to understand. For example, a link directly to a testflight beta, with no information about who developped the app, what it does, or anything else. Similarly, I get posts from particular games on itch.io that lack any context. While I might be interested in the original game, the post that “Version 3.2.6 of BazFlorper is released! Now squanking improves zorbs by 13 percent, up from 5. Other small balance changes. Foobing UI can now be moved to a second monitor.” is of absolutely no use to me. There should be a way to detect if a post is going to be of interest only to people who are already interested in “BazFlorper (video game)”, or would be of more general interest to people who are interested in “video games”. Some of this could be handled on a per-rule basis: posts on itch.io in the development blog of a particular game are probably only of interest to people who already play that game, for example. And maybe the rest could somehow be detected by how highly an article scores on more specific interests, verses lower specificity ones? Then exclude the highly, highly specific articles from showing up in lower specificity interests.

Thanks for the feedback! I’ll look into this. At minimum, it sounds like some of those sources shouldn’t show up in your feed unless you explicitly subscribe to them.
