Why is Facebook filled with so much random junk now?
(lemmy.world)
I remember when you could go on Facebook and look through your feed at what your friends are saying, catch up with them, and browse posts that they have made. Now, it's just completely random and chaotic, almost nonsensical. There's no logical sense to my Facebook feed at all. As you can see in the image, they are showing me stuff that I'm not even following. This is not even something that I am actively a part of! It's some random group. So what's the point of following a group or liking a page, if they're just going to show you random stuff anyway?
Like, wtf happened to this website?
That isn't a win either. I have a number of distance friends that I wouldn't hear about outside of facebook. I don't live near my old high school, but it is nice to see what is going on. I wouldn't have found out about that Ed died in a motercycle accident if it wasn't for facebook, but it is nice to know. I wouldn't see all those cute back to school pictures - they would be happy to show me over lunch but we don't live close enough to have lunch together. Facebook has much usefulness for keeping connected to distant friends/family (close friends/family I will call)
