But I maintain that the things in your feed are *not* chosen. What you see is written by others, and you cannot predict what will be written.
Obviously, it is silly to believe you can control what other people write. But it's also silly to believe that you *choose* what people will write.
So long as there is no choice in feed algorithms, any algorithm -- even if reverse chron -- is an imposition.
