This shows a bunch of articles based on your search history - many of which are incredibly poor quality and appear to be generated in some way.

I tried to curate mine for a bit and thumbs down useless sites or content I don't care about. I didn't really succeed in making this feed helpful so I mostly ignore it.

Google appears to think that I have one sole interest, which is The Lord of the Rings. And that I want to read endless poorly researched and sensationally headlined articles on differences between the novel and the films. It never recommends me anything else in that section.
I thought it was only me who thought that. Those articles are so much worse than, say, Google News app. Once in a while there’s something relevant, but it’s always clickbait stuff.
