I understand their stance but it is a bit sad because if i could tailor it to my interests i absolutely would use it all the time.

Wikipedia is massive there is way more that i don't want to read then there is that i do.

Personally i think there is roam for a “not insane, Fully transparent and user controlled” algorithm but also that would take a lot of developer effort.
