This is obvious. The bigger question is how to persuade and educate people who find false value in Facebook to leave the platform. A big part of polarization in American politics (not that you necessarily care or participate) has to do with social media consumption. Facebook users see a highly formulaic subset of events in their stream, and that reinforces their idea of what's going on around them.
I see comments like yours often, it's just that it never really leads to anything productive for those still trapped in the cycle. They just see outsiders from their POV, who don't do what they're doing. I don't think the average social media users is that cognizant of the behavioral modification possibility of using socials in the first place, or even of advertising in general.
