Facebook already includes tools to solve your issues. Either unfriend the vague acquintances, hide all their posts from your feed, or hide the annoying posts following some criteria.
- planetguy 14y agoActually I've discovered that the ads keep appearing even if you do hide all their posts from your feed.
- planetguy 14y agoActually, I just discovered that ads keep appearing even if you defriend the person! I just defriended someone who works for a social game company because they were pushing waaaay too many ads through to my feed. I felt bad about doing it because I don't mind the guy on a personal level, but shit it was annoying. Anyway, having defriended him I reloaded my news feed only to find that the ad was still there! Now, maybe that's a one-off and the servers hadn't quite synchronized yet, but damn. Facebook makes me dump my friends to avoid ads and still gives me the ads!
- myko 14y agoIt might take awhile for the defriending action to propagate to whatever system is generating the ads?
- Mikushi 14y agoIt doesn't work, there is a family member I have set to "Never show up on my news feed", and keeps coming back every time.
- Avenger42 14y agoI "unsubscribed" from the family member I no longer want to hear from. That way we're still "friends", I can visit his page and read what he's been posting, but it doesn't show up on my feed.
- michelleclsun 14y agoAgree. Facebook is a tool whose scope of use can be adjusted by each user's needs and expectations. It is true that the setting changes are not the most user-friendly / intuitive. It's also fair that some people want to cut off certain dependency of any tool, but it's not the tool to blame but a personal choice to make.
