The nine Junk Filters
Each filter targets a repeatable kind of feed clutter. Muuted maintains the rules so you do not have to build or babysit them yourself.
Deals & coupons
Discount pushes and recurring sale coverage that can overwhelm otherwise useful sources.
Catches: coupon codes, Prime Day, Black Friday deal churn.
Sponsored posts
Native advertising and paid placements identified by their disclosure language.
Catches: sponsored, partner, paid-content disclosures.
Unedited press releases
Wire-distributed announcements republished largely unchanged as if they were reporting.
Keeps: actual reporting about the announcement.
Betting & gambling promos
Sportsbook promotions and betting-acquisition content rather than reporting about gambling.
Catches: sign-up bonuses, promo codes, odds/picks/predictions columns.
Horoscopes & daily filler
Recurring astrology and horoscope posts that appear every day regardless of what is happening.
Catches: daily horoscope and zodiac forecast posts.
Puzzle hints & answers
NEWThe daily flood of hint-and-answer posts for popular word and logic games.
Catches: Wordle, Connections and Strands hints and answers.
Giveaways & sweepstakes
NEWPromotional enter-to-win content rather than reporting about sweepstakes or fraud.
Catches: contests, giveaways, sweepstakes promotions.
Viral-bait headlines
NEWStories sold primarily through manufactured virality or curiosity-gap framing.
Catches: “goes viral,” “breaks the internet,” “you won’t believe.”
It filters the format, not the subject.
Muuted is designed to distinguish promotional or filler content from legitimate reporting about the same topic.
Passes through: reporting about sweepstakes fraud
Passes through: gambling legislation and industry news
Passes through: reporting about misinformation going viral

Junk Filters FAQ
Do Junk Filters delete stories?
No. Filtered stories remain available in Hidden stories, where Muuted shows the exact reason each one was caught.
Are Junk Filters AI?
No. They are maintained filters built for specific, repeatable kinds of clutter. Their job is to behave predictably, not guess what you might like.
What if a filter catches something I wanted?
Open Hidden stories, restore it with one tap, and turn that Junk Filter off if it is not useful for you.
How is this different from keyword muting?
Keyword muting is your rule: you choose a word or phrase you are tired of seeing. Junk Filters are maintained by Muuted and target recurring formats such as sponsored posts, deal churn, press releases, and puzzle-answer posts.
