Every time I read more about Facebooks BS, the crazier it sounds. But I remember having a very similar issue with it. It kept feeding me political content I would get upset with. It was great at that, and so I stopped using it all together.
It truly seems like it’s a perfect storm of manipulation.
I’m still “using” Facebook, if by “using” we mean subscribing to some groups, sending birthday greetings to old friends, and rarely posting anything. It doesn’t feed me political content, any time it tries to push anything controversial, it gets blocked.
I do get political content on Threads though, but that’s my choice.

It’s now been 11 years since I left Facebook. 'Tis a silly place.
