      Pocket absolutely would suggest you articles (and ads) by default unless you explicitly told it not to in your settings. This is separate from the tiles of frequently visited pages from your history.

      The second slider down is your history/pinned shortcuts on the home screen. The third one is recommended junk, “Powered by Pocket.”

      More info on that here, for however long this will do anyone any good:
