I can only offer my own experience as evidence, but this is what I was advised to do (stop engaging by not selecting anything) and it worked. Prior to that I kept getting tons of stuff that I didn't want to see, but it stopped within a few days once I stopped engaging with it. And I agree, it is infuriating.

Because I got this advice from someone else, I guess it has worked for others too.
