Thanks! I finally hit my limit for giving away my attention when I found Facebook adding content to my news feed from sourced I'd specifically unfollowed. I guess "Unfollow" only works as long as one is over Facebook's internal threshold for followed content sources. This prompted me to wonder if I could use a TamperMonkey script to highlight and/or remove news feed items from unfollowed sources, which is how I found this scorched earth approach. Close enough!
