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.

It would also be less volume of stuff if Facebook only POSTED THE THINGS WE WANT PEOPLE TO SEE. No "likes" or such. Give people a clear idea what they're actually sharing/posting.
