FB now 90% ads and promos?
FB now 90% ads and promos?
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'm not on FB, but I have recently signed up for Instagram, similarly Meta-owned (due to the recurring problem that a lot of people in my life use it, and networking is distressingly essential these days), and just... why is so much of it ads and promos?
-
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.

I did the same a while ago. I signed up for Instagram because a few friends were on it, but never use it. I signed in a few weeks ago to catch up, and it showed me three or four posts, said that I was caught up, and then just showed me ads and sponsored posts.
-
I am actually noting that on my desktop, I'm not getting any ads or sponsored posts, just stuff from those I follow, and other people with similar content (so many frogs and sighthounds). I doubt it's because Instagram doesn't force ads on the desktop site. My adblocker is just doing a very, very good job.
