I signed up for Google+ but...

As much as it is a part of my life since we're away from friends and family, these days I hate Facebook for what it's become, in view of how it manages my access to what show up in my newsfeed.
 
If I like a company page, it's because I do want to hear from them and see their updates. But since they want pages to pay to promote and increase visibility, most of what I have an interest in fails to show up. And since the stuff that shows up is based upon the interaction that you have, you end up seeing only updates from the same dozen of people and companies. 
 
A while back, you had an option to see only some posts or all of them. But now, even if you follow a page, you'll miss most of what they post anyway.
 
I don't know how many times I realized I hadn't heard of a friend in a while only to notice that FB had blocked them from my newsfeed. And similarly, most of us noticed that more and more of our posts go unnoticed, because FB just doesn't show them in our network's newsfeed.
 
I also hate the way it arbitrarily hides things from my timeline.
 
If something existed which allowed us to import all our data from FB, I'd leave it in a blink. But that'll never happen, obviously. But at some point, considering the direction it has been taking, people will move to something else.
 
Did I mention that when they added the trending sidebar, it pretty much killed any hope I might have had left in humanity - when I see what preoccupies people, the topics of interest, I am fairly certain that we're doomed...

I know it's not an ideal solution, but if you go to a page whose updates you want to see all of and select "Get notifications" from the "liked" dropdown, you will receive notifications every single time that page posts something.
