Why feeds? Getting a newsletter is getting a feed, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, WhatsApp are all about getting a feed of endless news. All alternative social networks are the same.
Why "social network" became synonymous of producing and reading news from the life of people?
MySpace and Orkut were not that way. I imagine other social networks from the early 2000's were not that way also.
