This view would be akin to a mail or news reader layout with a subject pane and a viewer pane. The splayed-out, real-estate gobbling, all-or-nothing, vertical feed view is highly annoying and counter-productive. This default layout forces users to see every word and image in the feed, providing a sensory experience of total information overload. This mobile-first, low-IQ presentation is migraine fuel.
