I just want the ability to have some sort of intelligent negative filters, i.e. the ability to nuke content I don't care about.

For example, I'm a bit of a sneaker head, and subscribe to a lot of sneaker blogs. But I really don't like Nike shoes, which is the most popular sneaker brand, certainly in the US, and every sneaker blog has several Nike related articles every day. I never read any of them. I'd like to just completely omit them from my feeds.

That's kind of a simple example, and I can actually do that somewhat easily, but there are more complex examples. Let's say for example human rights related blogs, but ignore all propaganda content produced by either Governmental sources or about organizations associated with human rights violators. Or ignore all articles mentioning musicians, if the mention is about celebrity gossip. Or ignore content about Al Franken, if it's about his political activity, but still list content that's about his comedy work. Or vice versa.
