I get all kinds of weird "suggested for you" posts that seem like right-wing troll bait or just strange posts about semi-nude people. It's pretty clear it's trying to feed me some red meat for engagement, which is very off putting. I mean, that's been the game for years now, but it seems more blatant than it used to be.
- marban 5y agoInterestingly enough I've never seen any political or infuriating posts (Located in Europe, but ~80 US contacts) so it might be a localised problem.
- brewdad 5y agoMy suggested posts have been almost exclusively comics featuring really bad cat jokes. Occasionally, I'll see some third-rate tacticool product. I know it could be waaaaay worse but, really, a little variety would be nice.
- colechristensen 5y agoI enjoy how facebook/instagram can't quite figure out who I am and goes through moods between showing me $100k lab equipment, occult toiletries, and engagement rings.
- kylehotchkiss 5y agoSounds like your adblockers work! Meanwhile, in my household, Instagram and Youtube continue to show me ads for some product or restaurant I was just talking about, or for a store I just visited. I think my home needs a pi-hole.
