How Personalization Evolves
Your interests change, and your feed should too. Learn how Headlinne's personalization keeps adapting so it reflects who you are now, not who you were months ago.

A feed that keeps up
People's interests are not fixed. A new job, a move, a passing obsession, a world event—your attention shifts constantly. A personalization system that froze on your first week would quickly feel stale and wrong.
Headlinne's personalization is built to evolve, continuously updating so your feed reflects your current interests, not your past ones.
How the system adapts
Your feed evolves because:
- Recent engagement is weighted more heavily than old activity
- Your taste vector updates continuously as you read and swipe
- Exploration keeps introducing new topics to test
- Following or unfollowing topics resets weights directly
- Fading interests naturally lose ground as you stop engaging
Recency and exploration
Two mechanisms keep personalization current. Recency weighting means what you engaged with lately counts more, so your feed tracks your latest attention. Exploration deliberately surfaces some new or uncertain topics, so the system can discover interests you have developed but not yet signaled.
Together they prevent the feed from ossifying around outdated preferences.
Guiding the evolution
You can accelerate the evolution whenever you want: lean into a new interest by reading and following it, or steer away from a fading one by unfollowing. And if your interests have changed enough that the feed feels off, a reset lets you start the learning fresh.
The system is designed to move with you—and to be easy to redirect when it does not keep up on its own.
Key takeaways

Frequently asked questions
Why does my feed still show an old interest I moved on from?
It should fade as you stop engaging, since recent activity counts more. To speed it up, unfollow the topic or swipe away from it; for a bigger shift, reset your recommendations.
