Request for Staff – Reader Recommendation Purge

  • Unknown's avatar

    I’m not sure if purging my Reader is even the right thing to ask for (maybe reset Recommendations?), but let me explain.

    Several months ago I searched the Reader for an innocuous term and encountered quite a number of adult sites in the results. I notified a staff member of this issue and thought that was the end of it.

    Since then, I tend to frequently get such sites in my Reader’s “Recommended Posts” and, TBH, I am no longer interested in clicking through to report them or even seeing them in my Reader. However, there is no way to block or report a site from the Reader’s “Recommended Posts” main screen without actually clicking through to the site and if I do that, then I believe I’m tilting my Reader Recommendations in that direction. That’s the opposite of what I want.

    Can anything be done to reset my Reader Recommendations? Thanks for any help here.

  • Ahh I’m sorry that’s been happening to you, @justjennifer. We’ll do some digging on that to see what can be done.

  • Thanks @justjennifer. I’m glad you reported this. As an update for now, I can confirm the recommendations are not based on your clicks and there’s nothing to reset, but we’ve got some folks working to get to the bottom of this. Cheers!
