Is there way to get the feed to stop showing me horoscopes?

I get horoscopes in my Google News over and over again. I click to show me fewer stories like this to no avail. There is no longer a place where I can adjust my interests. How do I stop this junk from being in my news feed?

No.

You cannot even block sources anymore.

>>"Not helpful. I have never searched for or viewed horoscopes. I have consistently marked them to show fewer. Yet they persist. And I have never searched or viewed WWE, and it is not a sport.

It is not shown "out of the blue".

The other option is that your device is infected. This type of content is typical when a device is infected by malware;

Oh, I had another thought - you are talking about Google News, correct, like you click on the Google News icon on your phone or go to https://news.google.com ?

If you are asking about the app that comes up when you swipe right from your home screen, that's actually a different Google product called Google Discover.

A lot of people get those confused.

If you are talking about Google Discover, you can go to settings and turn off the option to use your past surfing history (instructions). That kinda defeats the purpose of Discover though, as it's all about providing personalized results,

It appears there is no way: Google really wants you to read horoscopes!
