Seeing family&#x2F;friend photos (as well as sharing mine with family) is one of the few reasons I keep Facebook around.  I&#x27;ve found it&#x27;s not tough to get things setup to minimize the annoyances:<p>1)  If someone is consistently filling your feed with crap, just unfollow them.  It&#x27;s as easy as clicking an arrow on their post.<p>2)  Go to the profiles of people you want to keep tabs on (family, close friends, etc), click on the &quot;Friends&quot; button up top, and select &quot;Get Notifications&quot;.  Now you can pretty much ignore your news feed, and only pay attention to Facebook when you receive a notification.<p>3)  I just discovered this and haven&#x27;t tried it:  click the &quot;Following&quot; button (next to the above mentioned &quot;Friends&quot; button) and select &quot;See First&quot;.  I assume this prioritizes their posts in your news feed.  Neat.
