It's sisyphean though - if your friends aren't sharing random crap you'll still have "sponsored content" injected to your feed once every... three items? Sometimes more often?
Facebook refuses to give you content without an equal serving of advertising and it makes their value proposition so worthless. I want to read updates from my friends - I don't care about other things... if you want to throw in some banner ads then whatever - but in-feed pollution is at an insane level.
- ToucanLoucan 3y agoTwitter does the same damn thing now too, though I continue using just because they allow community notes on the placed ad posts, which is hilarious. Nothing like dickheads trying to sell alibaba trash for $25 getting shouted at by community notes and everyone in the replies laughing at them.
- tanjtanjtanj 3y agoI don't know why but for the past couple of years Facebook will show be exactly one post from my friends followed by endless scroll ads. If I refresh I get a different recent post followed by endless scroll of ads. Many of the people on my friends list are frequent posters but there's no way to see their posts without getting lucky with my one slot or going to their page. I've tried turning off plug-ins/extensions and various browsers and nothing has fixed it.
