I've found the same thing. Especially when following what turns out to be resteeming accounts and they fill up your feed. I mute accounts that spam or just post rubbish for the sake of posting.
When I want to read up on the crypto news if the day I find it easier to go to the crypto tab as opposed to following someone who writes about crypto as it could be old info by the time you need to find out more about a coin that's tanking or what have you. So in that situation @doctorcrypto's tick box solution would be great because even when searching the crypto tab you're wading through things that may or may not have to do with crypto.

The @esteemapp has a lot more features than the website has but even that is still a work in progress. I guess it's all part of the building process. It's come pretty far considering it's only almost 2 years old.

I think there is a way of reaching the team that is building the platform. @steembuilder maybe? #steembuilders ?
