We definitely need better filtering on incoming feeds so we don't inundate our attention-spans. But Facebook's curation algorithms are one-size-fits-all. While that might work for a general search engine looking for information in the wider world, it's dangerous in personal communication. You suddenly have a third-party deciding and making value judgements about what you should or should not see.
Like a TV channel interspersed with ads.
