I still check facebook somehow (I hate it).

Scrolling the timeline, I noticed that it's 90% ads or promoted posts. This is next level...

Is this only me? Or has FB been like this these days? (PLEASE don't spam "quit FB already" messages.)

I can't understand why people still use FB with that mess of ads and promos. It operates like a scammer at this point: they actively select people who interact with low quality information.

I genuinely don't get it either. I have an account on FB for the exceedingly rare occasions when I need to contact someone who only has an FB account. I can't imagine being on there willingly.

Maybe even loyal users are like that by now. Or they're brainwashed by Instagram and don't see any problem.
