Ann.without.an.e Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I am not an avid FB'er. I go on sometimes to check up on long distance relatives and friends. For the last few months there isn't real life stuff anymore. It seems like 90% of posts are someone selling something, a repost of those generic pics with sayings/jokes, sales ads from companies, reposts of news articles, or rants. It is such a waste of time to sort through it all to get to 10% of good family updates and pics of family/friends. Is this just me/my account/my friends or is this a general trend? :confused1: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kiana Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 It's trending that way, but it's also your friends/relatives. I would block the few who are the most annoying. Then I'd start adding updates of your own -- sometimes seeing an update can remind people to do that. I actually started consciously trying to add more updates after my sister said "I was trying to see how you were doing and I had to scroll through six pages to get to something you wrote instead of re-shared" 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Heatherwith4 Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Yes, mine seems to be going that direction as well. I have blocked and unfriended and unfollowed quite a few people. I will be deleting some more people as election season approaches. :lol: 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seasider Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I get a ton of ads, it seems to be star duly increasing. ETA Star duly? Gotta love autocorrect. I meant steadily. The ads have been steadily increasing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrairieSong Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 I do a quick scroll through the promotions and memes until I get to the good stuff. It doesn't take that long. I also block anyone who is consistently annoying. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Wife Posted July 31, 2015 Share Posted July 31, 2015 Yes, FB tweaked its news feed algorithim recently so that most of my feed is now one of my FB friends clicking "like" on some random post by one of their friends whom I do not know. I wish there was a way to tell FB not to show me those posts unless it's a mutual friend. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
