    Yeah they all want to cram random “suggestions” into your feed which is honestly worse than the ads.

      Yes indeed. I stuck with instagram a lot longer because it didn’t do this, but now in an attempt to copycat TikTok they’ve done the same with the home screen that keeps switching back to “For you” instead of “Following”. 🤦‍♂️

      Trust me, fb ads are way worse than it used to be. Mine is flooded with celebrities advertising scams in the ads, in my region.

      “Hi, I’m [some celebrity name]. When I was young, I didn’t have money, but investing on stocks changed my life! …”

      These scammers use ChatGPT to generate millions of these and fb is now chaos because admins can’t do anything, I tried reporting and tuning ad preferences, but there’s no solution because they are literally flooding the platform. These even aren’t copy pastes because the AI generates a huuuge variety of them. The fact that the ad posts mimics actual posts (by fb’s deliberate design) doesn’t help.

      And I hate celebrities, so seeing their face already makes my day a bad one.

        Haha I love seeing celebrities in movies and TV but yeah, anywhere else, the extreme celebrity-worship in this country just depresses the fuck outta me.
