The feed thing is pretty easy to fix. You just have to tell Facebook you don't want to see posts like that (three dot menu). I did that a while back and don't get any memes or shared links on my feed anymore.
- izzydata 8y agoYou would think so wouldn't you? But if you tell it you don't want one thing on your feed it is then supplemented by 10 others. It is virtually endless and there is no hiding all content that is not hand written by your friends and family.

- colordrops 8y agoI tried that. It builds up quickly again, because you can only disable individual sources. I have no interest in tending a viral garden. If Facebook wants to keep me around they'll instate a binary option to disable all 3rd party content.
- ckosidows 8y agoJust unfollow everybody. Believe me you won't miss your feed.
- sandebert 8y agoThat's my strategy also, can't recommend it enough.
- meko 8y agoI use a stylish plugin which masks the feed entirely. It was useful when I was having to use facebook often to promote a brand. Nowadays though it's eliminated the vast majority of facebook's use for me. 95% of my notifications are random 'so and so invited you to an event' and 'so and so posted in some group'. I realized that the fb feed had become a content aggregator, much like that other website we all know and love(?), but instead your f&f were the contributors. Blacking out the feed of inane content effectively made fb useless for me.
- amerkhalid 8y agoI did same thing. It makes you ignore newsfeed by default because it will only contain ads. And slowly, I started to check facebook less often. Now I log onto facebook maybe once or twice a week. And that is only if I need to contact someone.
