Meta displayed a chart showing that the “percent of time spent viewing content posted by ‘friends’ ” has declined in the past two years, from twenty-two per cent to seventeen per cent on Facebook, and from eleven per cent to seven per cent on Instagram.

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.

I miss when the Instagram homepage showed all your friends’ new posts before it showed recommended stuff. Now it’s all interwoven

It's not even new stuff. Last I had looked (a couple years ago) it would show me friendss posts from last week with no sign of anything new, and I knew they had posted newer things than that. It was completely unusable. I'd see the same stale old posts for days
