Whether you gather the preference data by query "Did you like it?" or inference "They looked at this page for N seconds." it's still collaborative filtering.

There's no reason to have a cutoff at all. Sort the data according to predicted interest, and the user can quit reading when they're tired.

Large quantities of data are more important than clever algorithms at providing useful results.

Filtering entire lists is far less useful than filtering specific topics within a list.
