We decided to focus on increasing contributions to magazines because it means users are investing more time and energy into the platform and are therefore more likely to form habits around their Flipboard usage.

Since the topic picker does not affect the accept flow, I explored removing it. However, analytics show users who continue without choosing topics churn very quickly.


So, I suggested we remove the topic picker from the accept flow then show the topic picker to any topic-less user the first time they enter their For You feed.


This allows us to show users the topic picker directly where it will have impact, allowing users to see value in choosing topics.
