It sounds like your two feeds are very different. I didn’t like facebook, then unfollowed everyone except immediate family. It’s nice now! Not distracting, occasional baby pictures.
One of facebook’s worst long run mistakes was optimizing for engagement vs. enjoyment. It boosts metrics but makes people quit or go cold turkey.
Instagram has never felt like that.
- taurath 7y agoMy family only reposts articles and never has anything to say themselves.
- filoleg 7y agoSounds like a problem with your family and not Facebook. But quitting Facebook will indeed help you distance yourself from all of that, so, I guess, it is still a net benefit.
- bob33212 7y agoFacebook doesn't care about enjoyment. They want to maximize eyes on the screen time and sell that for maximum ad revenue. If you are someone who would like to spend 5 minutes a week on Facebook catching up with friends they do not care about you.
- graeme 7y agoPossible. But I used facebook a lot more when I enjoyed it. I enjoy instagram now for example and use it a lot. Facebook showed me stuff I didn’t care about it that aggravated me, so I stopped using it. now I’m in thE 5 min a week category. But I’d rather follow more people, but only the important stuff
- hkmurakami 7y agoThey may not care about you, but that doesn't mean we can't mold it to meet our needs. I try to behave on Facebook like it's 2005 again, before the outrage or glamour. That being said I think it's totally reasonable that the difficulty each of us experiences in trying to exert such control will vary.
