OP was too absorbed in the AMA to notice, I think.

I find that hard to believe, given the amount of trash that is in there. Why not remove that from the feed too? Do you have a source?

Both fb and g+ control what you see via algorithms. You do not have the ability to see EVERYTHING even if you wanted to. You would have to click on every single person's profile independently to see everything. There is no way to turn off that "feature".

I believe Facebook's "Most Recent" option (buried under the arrow to the right of "News Feed" on desktop) does allow you to see your friends' "posts" just sorted by time and unfiltered. I used to use it a lot. The trouble is that if you do all of the junk that Facebook puts in the feed ("Friend X liked Stranger Y's post", "Stranger Y tagged Friend X", etc.) doesn't get pushed to the bottom. So, you can turn the algorithm off, but Facebook is designed to discourage it.
