Description
Let's say I'm a JavaScript developer. I want news/questions/articles on JavaScript. Primarily, though, I work with VueJS, so I really want to see stuff from Vue.
This feature adds the ability to adjust the weights of tags to determine which content is most likely to show up in your feed.
This will allow folks to assign higher values to niche tags they are involved with.
This also allows folks to assign ultra-negative values to topics they don't care to see. However, this functionality is definitely in beta because it first requires you to "follow" that tag you don't like, which could come with unwanted positive signaling. So think of negative following as YMMV, but in the future we will differentiate better "negative follows" from "positive follows" under the hood.
