Most of the non-technical users I interact with feel the same way about the feed as the upthread complaint. I do think the feed is ordered very deliberately based on Facebook's data, but not around pleasing users, instead around assuring the marginal value of spending money for reach so that more people will do that. That's why "get stories sorted by our in-house secret-sauce algorithm" keeps getting pushed forward while "most recent" keeps getting made less useful and harder to get to (to the point where it is no longer possible to have it the default feed display on the Android app.)

Actually, most of my friends and family are technically inept, and they complain about seeing "the same old junk" all the time.

They're all heavy Facebook users, so I'm not sure how much they deviate from the norm, but they're not remotely technical.

I took a poll of my friends, most of whom are not technical at all and most found it annoying.
