I counted up a sample and across 50 posts on my feed 2 were from friends, 3 were from groups I follow, the remaining 45 (!!!) Were ads or suggested posts. You can't disable this, only report that you're not interested in these specific topics. Got me thinking of deleting my account and retiring from Facebook now, which I'd never really done before * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply [-]monotoonz[S] 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago* (0 children) Same. It's insane. I tried reporting, but it's not working. At least not yet. Edit: It seems to have worked. My feed is back to normal. Seeing friends posts and pages/groups I follow. Edit 2: So much for that * permalink * embed * save * parent * report * give award * reply [-]caramelkoala45 0 points1 point2 points 3 months ago* (0 children) Bit late but I did this too! I got the idea when doing a uni essay on social media and psychological risks. 2/55 from friends, and about 20/55 were ads/suggest pages, 20/55 were pages (meme, news or political pages) and 13/55 were group posts (the same 3-5 groups I participate in). * permalink * embed * save * parent * report * give award * reply [-]sudden_patience 0 points1 point2 points 6 hours ago (0 children) It's great for productivity! I've given up on FB as a social network a long time ago. I unfollow everyone and started following things that interest me. Followed the astronomical society so I can be informed when they have a public night. I get ads for everything I need for renovating my house: roof sealing services, AC repair, contractors, new windows, cabinets, countertops, tiles, custom woodworkers, and more! The other great things on FB are events, the marketplace, and groups. So much useful information out there if you tailor the platform to your needs. No need to mourn the former FB. It's gone. * permalink * embed * save * parent * report * give award * reply [-]janaagaard 0 points1 point2 points 4 hours ago (0 children) So... 90% suggested pages. :) * permalink * embed * save * parent * report * give award * reply [-]Ok-Rub939 2 points3 points4 points 2 months ago (0 children) I started blocking pages. Not even that worked. For example I blocked the official NBA Facebook page and I still get "suggested for you" posts from them. My feed is 80% suggested posts. * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply [-]Oasis511 1 point2 points3 points 5 months ago (2 children) The same thing is happening to me. It started yesterday where maybe every third or fourth item in my feed was a "suggested for you" post. Some of them were from legitimate pages like The Onion or ESPN, but most of them were from meme pages about either sci-fi/superhero franchises or conservative/Libertarian pages with names like "American Truckers." A handful of them are "local" news stories from network affiliates in towns hundreds and thousands of miles away from me. I woke up this morning and found that these kinds of posts are now taking up 75% of my news feed. I'm getting several of them in a row before seeing anything from any of my actual pages and friends. If this keeps up, I'm probably quitting this platform for good. I already had a weird glitch about a month ago where all the suggested reels that popped up in my feed were from South America and in Spanish. I had to hide reels entirely, but they kept reappearing after a couple of days. * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply [-]monotoonz[S] 0 points1 point2 points 5 months ago (1 child) It comes and goes on mine.

I was hiding a lot of them, but now I'm getting a ton of recommended videos that I don't have an option to hide. * permalink * embed * save * parent * report * give award * reply [-]stitchmidda2 1 point2 points3 points 3 months ago (0 children) Same issue here. I get maybe 1 or 2 friend or pages I follow posts and then the rest is suggested posts and most of the suggestions arent even for things I like or follow. A majority of it is like political crap that is very heavily biased and irritating, there's some ads in there, and then maybe 1 or 2 suggestions that actually interest me. I went into my settings and changed them so i see more friend and page posts but that didnt change a thing and the suggested posts are even worse. I dont even want to go on FB anymore because its just constant political preaching or ads for junk shoved in my face 24/7. I want to see what my friends are up to or cute animal pictures or updates from pages I follow. I dont want this crap! And we all know its because FB sold out and is doing this for advertiser money. * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply [-]BidoofOwO 1 point2 points3 points 2 months ago (0 children) I just got 28 in a row.

That was it for me, it gave me the perfect reason to just ditch Facebook altogether finally, I only have Messenger now. Nothing can be done about it, not even hiding or blocking or reporting pages.

Purity addon/extension which gives options to hide suggested and sponsored posts among other things. I think it's only for browsers though. It drives me nuts to use FB without it, like when I'm using the mobile app or occasionally FB changes their algorithm which makes the sponsored posts reappear, but the developer is constantly on the case to fix it. * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply [-]monotoonz[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children) Yes, it's for desktop browsers only.

Facebook made some weird changes that you can only view facebook as a page admin when updating your page. So if you're still logged in as admin, you will only see suggestions in your feed, because as we all know from Reddit, admins have no friends. You have to click your profile pic in top right of screen and switch back to you the person to start seeing all the people you follow in your feed. * permalink * embed * save * report * give award * reply [-]monotoonz[S] 0 points1 point2 points 1 month ago (0 children) No, this is not the case.
