I still don't get it at all. As someone who has had a facebook account since like 2009ish? I'm of the right age-cohort to be hooked into my phone like the groups these people are referring to. But in the 10 years I've had a facebook account, I rarely ever used it except as a way to message people really. I don't understand how anyone could look at a newsfeed and find good content there. Even in the 'good era' of facebook before all these ads it was still a bunch of trash I didn't want to look at. I can't image how anyone would want to look at their phone scrolling through this kind of garbage for any extended period.

  Are there anywhere you can get Malkovich Bias scores to see just how out of the ordinary your web use habits are?

>I don't understand how anyone could look at a newsfeed and find good content there. Uh, "this kind of garbage" is the stuff your friends posted, right? You don't understand how anyone could have friends that post good stuff? I was going to suggest to you find friends that post better stuff on FB, but on second thoughts i can think of more worthwhile goals. :-) I hardly ever read my newsfeed these days either, just chat & message, but I do have friends who post good stuff, e.g. angry political stuff fighting for justice and against corruption in Australia, India, Latin America, Philippines etc. And am in some groups that post good stuff! (Yes it's true hehe) I do get garbage too, yes - usually I unfollow or defriend if necessary.
