Other POV: I only check FB a few minutes everyday or so and that algo, maybe ironically, is what allows me to do so. You have 1000 friends each interacting once per day with FB in a news feed worthy way (posting, joining an event, commenting etc). Are you supposed to look at 500 daily news feed posts to get a 50% chance of knowing what that friend you really like is up to? (pushing the trait but you get the idea) Instead having to seep through endless activities I don't care about I can scan 10-15 posts per day and they are the relevant ones from the groups and friends I want to interact with. -- I'm fully with you on the point you make about business/content creator you volontarily subscribed to having to pay extra for you to see their stuff.
