Comment on The original Facebook was something we’ll never get back

Years ago it was really interesting, could follow all my friends and see what they were up to. Now it’s ads, suggested content and sometimes, accidentally, I can see some uninteresting post from someone I barely know

My feed is aware of my politics and throws everyone I’m friends with or follow (and some who I’ve unfollowed) who wrote something objectively wrong or stupid that’s biased the other way politically.
It’s literally all rage bait unless I go in and manually block it from showing me those people at all.

I went back to watch my Facebook since years and I scrolled and scrolled. 24 sponsored posts before seeing a post from someone that I knew! And it was a post from someone out of the country who did a 1 week workshop with me ten years ago (=someone that I barely know). Next post is from a schoolmate after 21 sponsored posts. Need to-scroll through another 21 sponsored posts to find another real post. Again from someone who I barely know (the teacher of that workshop where I went ten years ago)
How can people enjoy this shit? They actually enjoy watching ads?
