The easiest way this could work would be allowing you to group your subscriptions manually or automatically tagging them into preset categories (which would still use AI technically). It's not really feasible to create an endless number of shitty algorithms that probably won't give you exactly what you want.

It's what they had on reddit or even your bookmarks. You just tag what category they are and then get those categories or browse theirs.
