> My feed is 98% noise I don't care about nor want to see and no combination of ad and script blocking helps. It's worse than any news site.

I agree. I click on some of the news articles I see, since they're usually local to me, but it's still noise. I didn't actually follow any of those pages so I don't know why Facebook puts them in my feed (well, I do know why: some corporate schmuck A/B tested it and found it eked out more engagement on the level).
