[re: Tweet re: Quilette's self-congrat. tone]: Agree; but that's just how journalism works. The craft demands every bauble dangled before the reader be portrayed as a crown jewel of relevance, and the writer lauded as a pearl-diver who near-drowned in a sea of muck to surface it.

Fully agree. That is why I wish there were a distributed, market based system to sort news on relevance at the micro (story for story or even fact for fact) level. I am optimistic we will get to a better place, but who knows when.

Maybe a platform should sample many users’ assignment of relevance based on their own self-assigned preferences and interests and then the most popular signals will naturally propagate to wider populations.
