I have no idea what I did, but I don't get any of that nonsense. I have all notifications turned off in the app, I've disabled all email except if someone explicitly mentions me by name in a discussion (I should probably switch off that one, too) and I've made an effort to hide all kinds of stupid apps and games and pages that are nothing but time wasters. I also only like and follow pages that I have a genuine interest in (such as concert venues and bands I love). Sure, there's a token notice from time to time ("why not repost a picture from 7 years ago?" and so on), but I find them easy to ignore. Once you beat Facebook into submission, it becomes a reasonably useful tool.

Maybe they are collecting enough data about you that they don't feel the need to bother you. Are you signed in to Facebook in your primary browser? Do you have the mobile app running in the background? Since I've signed out of Facebook on my PC and kill the mobile Facebook app while not using it, I tend to get multiple push notifications per day, most of them asking if I know some random person. My girlfriend, who is on Facebook daily, has never seen any of these notifications.

  Possibly. Or maybe whatever they have is so boring they can't be bothered to ask me for more. I share very little personal stuff on Facebook. Actually none at all, now that I think about it. Most of my profile is empty.
