"Uniformly awful clickbait garbage" has its own kind of potency. When it's trying to pad your feed, Facebook might not know that "give yourself one point for each one of these you've done" has any specific relevance to you, but it does know that a lot of people seem to engage with it and you're a person. It's basically guessing when it's out of ideas. To infer any kind of malice, you'd have to define some sort of threshold for how much "uniformly awful clickbait garbage" you would expect to see just because of this guessing, and observe that the threshold is being exceeded. Have you done that?
