Yes. I would prefer this.
FB no longer gives me a customized feed. I get a generic feed tailored to my demographics - brain achingly dumb posts about Disney and Marvel and memes I don't care for. And I am unable to unsubscribe from any of them because none of them are based on my preferences.
This has been FB's response to the EU sanctions (as well as dropping user engagement) and is the "Non-Personalized feed" that the article is describing.

- youngtaff 3y agoYeh but that’s a fault of FB not the EU law
- LordShredda 3y agoThis is where a EU based competitor could step in and give a decent product, while still complying and benefiting the local economy
- btbuildem 3y agoIt doesn't even have to be EU based -- just create a decent product voluntarily.
- Symbiote 3y agoI went through the earlier process of objecting to personal data processing. Since then, my feed has been 25% videos of trains and model railways, 50% vaguely sexist or sexual jokes (blondes, 'little Johnny' etc) or cartoons, 25% posts from random Anglophone police forces showing them catching speeding cars, or advising to use seatbelts. As a whole I think it's good evidence that they no longer use anything they know about me to show the adverts.
