Yep. My feed is now an endless scroll of ads and "recommended" channels which are literally also just ads. As an experiment I counted once - had to scroll past 30 of these ads/recommended posts before I was finally shown a post from a friend or a group I was actually a part of.
- vips7L 4y ago1 out of every 4 posts is an ad nowadays.
- wizofaus 4y agoIt's certainly higher than it used to be, but I doubt many users would tolerate anything that high. I just did a quick scroll through my feed (first in a while) and it was pretty much what I expected to see. From comments I'm reading in this thread I can only assume FB have been doing some sort of A/B testing. Luckily for me I seem to be in the control group. Maybe because I only check my feed once a week or so...
- vips7L 4y agoFor me it is literally 1/4 posts are an ad.
- intrasight 4y agoYour friends presumably don't post ads. So filter out things that aren't from your friends.
- bluGill 4y agoFacebook really wants you to scroll past no more than 5 posts. It will chose the "best 5" by some algiorthm, and after that it is mostly garbage. Their best 5 algorithm isn't very good, it finds the most important stuff (a friend had a new baby - these get a lot of likes), but will miss most of the next level down. Then it descends into memes that people share instead of the actual life people live.
- thenoblesquid 4y agoSeeing very similar things in my feed. 4 out of 5 posts are now an ad or "recommended" which only further douses my already very small desire to use Facebook at all.
