The mistake is reading those "news" in the first place...
You see a hot chick, you click. It's an involuntary response.
Skill issue
You can tap the 3 dots next to the share button and say you're not interested in seeing this type of stuff.
That is a impossible endeavor. There are countless "news" sites that all push this kind of drivel. If it is anything like YouTube It probably doesn't even care about your suggestions anyway. I select that I'm not interested in something all the time on YouTube and then they just keep recommending the same channel or the same genre of content.
It does care, and it does work to an extent. Been doing it for a while now, and I get these kinds of posts very rarely.
Ohhh, this reminds me of one of my favourite subreddits: hailcorporate. Fuck ads.
Oh god that was what got me disillusioned with reddit
I don't read news anymore. They are either depressing or empty in content. We need more uplifting news people!!!
That's unfair. Some are badly written as well.

And its almost always not the actual item is clothing anyway, just a cheap knock-off.
Elegant Blue Mortgage Pain is a great band name.
Why do I care what someone got paid to wear lol
What fascinates me is that there must be some people that are interested in what dress a celebrity is wearing, cause otherwise they wouldn't still be writing articles about it.
