I concur - quit Facebook 6 years ago and that was one of the reasons for me.
Apparently though this approach is contributing less to "engagement" of users - cue Twitter and its loyal user base vs majority seemingly not caring much. As per the article: that unpleasant feeling when confronted with different opinions/worldviews maybe really doesn't "sell" as well. Zuckerberg does a better job creating shareholder value (maybe) but I'm still a much bigger fan of Dorsey and his service.
I like to challenge myself and follow all kinds of people, even though those tweets often do annoy me - a practice in tolerance - why not?
