The feed used to be a simple chronological timeline. Then it evolved into whatever stochastic mess it is now in an attempt to maximize user engagement and ad views. So they've turned the notifications into essentially a mini version of the old news feed which (big surprise) is damn noisy.

I feel strongly that infinite scroll needs to be either illegalized or heavily regulated.

The infinite scroll isn't really the issue here (though I wouldn't mind a law mandating a toggle).
