You have to wade past a ton shit you’d never purposely look at, get side tracked along the way, and still never see everything you originally set out to see. It’s a never ending loot box for content.

Tried it? You can’t escape it, lol.
I’ve got my feed set up. It works about as well as it can. Lemmy is a particularly good place for it, low content, less users, and no ads.
As a core concept, I wouldn’t have a problem with it, provided we actually had way more levers to adjust the algorithms.
In larger settings it’s a complete nightmare, even on sites that aren’t trying to generate ad revenue.
Even as someone who lived through the static webpage and forum era and loved it, reverting to that feels like going backwards in progress. But without finer controls over the algorithm, the general application of scrolling is ass and detrimental to good life/screen time balance. There should be some kind of middle ground or new structure.
