    When I scroll Facebook I get like one post from someone I know for every 10 sponsored/suggested posts from random shit I don’t care about.

      This is why I left 5 years ago. I never actually got to see my friends posts, so what was the point? I could manually pull up everyone’s page, but that wasn’t the point. I was wasting so much time just trying to see if I missed anything that I gave up, quit the platform and honestly didn’t feel like I missed anything.

      I’ve added those suggested posts to my uBlock filter.

      Now every time I open Facebook, it starts to flip out by loading stuff and immediately blocking it until I encounter a post from my friends.

      Really shows you how little is actually posted.
