Yeah. By their design. If they would allow user control over what shows up in their feed, mine would prioritize friends' content. I'm not the one choosing to turn my feed jnto AI slop based on my alleged interest in the topic.
This is ironic because all the 40 year old chicks who are career users of FB since college, all cite the same justification for continuing to use it: "But all my photos and the current happenings of my friends".
If you showed them epirical data that only 17% of what they consume on the platform is actually even tangentially related to their friends and family, maybe they'd finally decouple themselves from FB.
And all the photos look like shit because they’ve been recompressed in JPEG, and all the metadata is just gone.
Just recently implemented immich. This hurts real hard.
