An excerpt from the end of a blog post: Why finding good tech blogs is hard https://medium.com/@alastairmrushworth/why-finding-good-tech-blogs-is-hard-a5005f055e47
> It’s almost a cliche that good health comes from a balanced and varied diet. Something very similar applies to our information diet — we require a level of diversity in what we read — diversity interpreted in the broadest sense of variety and heterogeneity. > > What this might mean practically is that an ideal feed might appear less ‘palatable’ than the type built on engagement on a social media site, including articles that are longer and more challenging.
There are food presentation tips for parents of picky eaters, are their good examples for how we can build (or adapt with userscripts, etc.) feeds that encourage variety information types?
___ Aside: Less palatable also applies to learning and the benefits of desirable difficulty: Elizabeth L. Bjork and Robert Bjork's "Making Things Hard on Yourself, But in a Good Way: Creating Desirable Difficulties to Enhance Learning" https://bjorklab.psych.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/13/2016/04/EBjork_RBjork_2011.pdf
