But they are also really really bad at curating content I like to see. Like even worse than the advertising actually. My feed is just garbage and has been ever since they switched over from being chronological. But I sometimes get on a wild hair about some particular person, and I'll look at their page directly and see actually interesting content on their page that was never shown to me. Facebook's only real guess is then to just say: oh! You must like this person, let me show them, all the time.". The reality is, I'm interested in stuff like when a biased person I don't like shares a more neutral or inclusive opinion, or someone does something interesting. Facebook is just unuseably bad at selecting for that. Their algorithm just pushes really shallow crap and buries anything with substance or depth. I keep it around just to stay in touch with hard to contact people.
