I agree. It should have a better way of making sure the "best" content for you floats to the top of your list, rather than going by recency.
I'm intrigued by the new recommendations feature though, which might actually be a reasonable way to leverage the social aspect of article sharing. But I continue to lament the lack of a good way to have real discussion.
I used to love Pocket and used it since it was a tiny extension in Firefox. They actually introduced a great feature which turned your list into a magazine format with the highest rated articles at the top.
Sadly they canned it not long after. Pity since I found Pocket very useful with that particular feature.
