While I understand the motivation and wish for similar tools myself, I think the healthier solution is to just put less information into the top of the funnel.


But how do you know which bits of information to ignore at the top of the funnel?


There is an old joke.

A boss looks at a thick stack of résumés he had received for a job listing. It's too thick to go through it in a day. He takes a random bunch of papers from the middle of the stack, and throws the papers away. His subordinates are surprised, so he comments: "We don't need any unlucky losers anyway".


Doesn't that question apply regardless of the amount?
