If, because of what a publisher like that covers, you start to see too many newsworthy Trump or GOP stories in your feed, chances are you’re not going to enjoy your Flipboard experience so much. Let’s say you follow Axios on Flipboard, and you’re a staunch Democrat. Which will let you select and deselect topics that inform the content which appears inside this section. With the new Flipboard app update, you’re now going to see a tuning icon in the corner of your “For You” section. There are apparently people out there, who like the same things I do, and who also consume a ton of news about the pandemic. And I’m pretty sure I’ve never given Flipboard a single signal that would suggest I want to see lots of news about it. Even though I don’t follow anything even remotely connected to the pandemic inside the app. Rather, that row could be given the more accurate but too long and wonky label of “Popular on Netflix … among people who have interests that are the same or similar to yours.” This is the reason why, on Flipboard, my “For You” section always includes lots of Covid news.
