1804511 - Pocket newtab move sponsored content into its own feed

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(Firefox :: New Tab Page, enhancement)

Description

[Scott [:thecount] Downe]

Right now all sponsored content fetching and manipulation is done inside and contained inside DiscoveryStreamFeed and the DiscoveryStream redux store.

With the sponsored topsites work, this data is ow shared.

I think we'll have significant improvements if the spoc related stuff was split out into its own feed and store, that way can easily be shared by topsites.

It'll help reduce state bugs by providing the sponsored Pocket data used by topsites earlier in the setup flow, so we don't have to inject sponsored Pocket topsites later during render.

I think it'll also clean up and redux complexity in reading code for both DiscoveryStream and Topsites if the sponsored content logic is split up.
