Reader App Suggestion: Preventing tag abuse
-
Browsing some tags in the Reader is ineffective because a handful of users abuse and publish dozens of posts hourly/daily to a given tag. See “technology” for example.
Suggesting a feature that could throttle this behavior and make tag browsing more enjoyable and diverse for the average blog reader.

Hi there,
We’re very aware of this type of abuse, and have been working on ways to prevent it, but I don’t think the idea of throttling has been considered yet. I’ll pass it along to the team on the Reader.
Meanwhile, if there’s a particular site you keep seeing in tag results that you don’t want to see, you can use the Reader’s built-in blocking feature to block that site from appearing in the Reader for you.
To block a site, click on the ellipsis menu in the bottom-right corner of a post card and select the Block option. Note that it’s not currently possible to unblock a site once you’ve blocked it, and the block option is not there if multiple posts from one site are being shown in a single card. Both these things are being worked on.
