** Description changed:
There are currently several packages being recommended to me on the
welcome screen that I know are not interesting to me.
Things like a Polish subtitle downloader. Or a BBC iPlayer streamer.
In order to get them out of the recommended-for-me section, I imagine I
could download them, review them poorly, and then uninstall them. But
that seems silly and unfair to the app. Just because I'm not interested
doesn't mean it should get a bad review.
So I would like a way to mark an app as "not for me" so it wouldn't show
up as a recommendation. This seems like useful data too for the server
to generate better recommendations for everyone.
