I have never used facebook or snapchat but this is what drove me off of linkedin too, it used to be 100% updates from people I knew, and somehow morphed into 99% "news feed" crap that I never want to see, ever.

I don't care what your analytics say about user engagement, they are wrong. Just stop the "relevancy game" and the stupid news feeds everywhere.

I think we need an add-on to Zawinski's law, "Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail." These days, every program seems to expand until it includes an unwanted news feed.

So true, it’s impossible to see what I truly want to see on FB and LinkedIn - updates from people that I care about in reverse chronological order!
