I don't follow enough users to have a flourishing newsfeed, so facebook gives me suggestions to follow pages and shows posts from those pages. These suggestions are purely based on what facebook thinks I may like.

With people having enough sources to feed their newsfeed, facebook decides the order and cherry picks what posts are shown.

I do agree with this. Coming to a solution to this would be hard problem. Users will have to give finer information about types of posts people like from a creator. I doubt there are any real work incentives for a big company to build a system like this.
