Facebook, YouTube and many others are user hostile. They make money by controlling the information you see. Your attention is a commodity they sell. Both of these services... give you what you want from time to time just to keep you on the service.. then they maximize trying to divert your attention to what they want (or are paid to show you). From one angle its quite dystopian to watch people endlessly scroll or just go from video to video on youtube.... essentially an algorithm is influencing your behavior.. perhaps programming you to an extent. Super creepy to see people everywhere just sit and stare at the device while this happens. Its like there is an illusion of user control.
