I just got this totally spam-y looking Press & Hold to prove I'm not a robot screen for the first time today.

Was that actually sanctioned by Seeking Alpha?

Are you guys trying to ruin this site from a usability perspective?

I would like to be able to filter out some categories of news.  For example the news feeds about biotech/drugs contain a huge amount of information I don't understand or care about.  Also I'd like to filter out news about energy companies (not interested in fossil fuels).  That said I'd rather not have to look through all other news topic by topic.
