I've never quite understood the, "Facebook would be so much better without news," comments I've been seeing the last few days. I follow ~60 people on FB, most of whom I know IRL. I'm pretty ruthless in unfollowing those that are noisy with memes or other junky stuff. I'm also conservative with the groups and pages I subscribe to. You have the controls to curate what goes into your Facebook feed. So the, "So much better," remarks feels like someone flailing around fecklessly when they actually have the power. Anecdotally I've noticed very little change in my feed since the change here in the Antipodes.
