  Who the fuck cares? Sadly, probably more people than care about the other stuff. At least if my News feed says anything about society. I have to actively block/dislike anything celebrity related or it clogs my feed.

  > Rumors of Megan/Harry moving to Africa? Who the fuck cares? "Top videos" and "Trending Stories" in my view suggest I'm definitely an outlier (as are you, by the sounds of things), as it's always full of items like that which you've mentioned you have no interest in. You probably either need to suck it up, or pay for a service that caters to your (our?) needs. I've opted to suck it up.
