  Even just the occasional glance at my spouses’ phone screen gives me cancer: it’s full of ads or ‘sponsored content’ or ‘content’ that’s a blatant advertisement.

    I rarely venture on FB these days, perhaps twice a year. So I was surprised when I last logged in to find a number of posts from people and groups I’ve never heard of, because FB had decided I’d probably enjoy their content.

    All it told me was that people aren’t posting enough to make the feed worthwhile, so they have to inject bullshit into it too.

  The eye cancer would happen because of someone’s custom html profile theme.
