Yeah i'm subscribed to the rss feed of some news websites like verge, and amidst my tech feed I get the most random/useless articles such as "how to signup to amazon prime" from time to time, sometimes it feels like they're just running out of ideas and need to keep pumping articles (like this one for example).
All the tech sites seem to run unlabeled advertising a lot of the time. I get lots of "save $2000 on this amazing Lenovo laptop" crap in my feeds. The Amazon Prime one sounds like it may be a paid ad too.
Feeder has a filter option that's come in handy for getting rid of junk articles like that.
