Hi all! I frequently see irrelevant garbage posts being published on these so-called tech news sources, frustrating you and me alike.

This morning, I’ve updated the bot to support loading a list of blocked phrases from its config. As of writing this, the block list currently contains:

"blockedPhrases": [
	"couches",
	"vegan",
	"diet",
	"progressives",
	"save $",
	"astrology",
	"disney plus",
	"hulu",
	"apple deals",
	"prime day",
	"linoleic acid",
	"freedom caucus",
	"mental health",
	"laptop deals",
	"smart gadget",
	"and your money",
	"folding phones",
	"chatgpt"
]

If there are common phrases that are usually used in blog spam, but not in real tech news, feel free to let me know and I can update the config when I have a few minutes to SSH in and tweak it.
