Well, in my case I exited Facebook rather than trying to ban every annoyance being put in my feed. Facebook thought it neat to feed me crap, so I took my eyeballs elsewhere. So, I guess we’re both right as I showed Facebook the door after failing to recover my feed.
Not entirely accurately. It pulls a subtle sleight of hand in saying "It's just that the people listening think you're an asshole, and they're showing you the door." It's not actually the people listening showing you the door - it's the owners of the social media in question.
But "the people", or small personal websites, are much more sympathetic than multinational behemoths like Facebook or Twitter, with ten to a hundred times more members than most countries have people. But it's not like such a massive difference in size causes a qualitative difference that might merit different treatment..
