I still check facebook somehow (I hate it).

Scrolling the timeline, I noticed that it’s 90% ads or promoted posts. This is next level…

Is this only me? Or has FB been like this these days? (PLEASE don’t spam “quit FB already” messages.)

    I did the same a while ago. I signed up for Instagram because a few friends were on it, but never use it. I signed in a few weeks ago to catch up, and it showed me three or four posts, said that I was caught up, and then just showed me ads and sponsored posts.

      I am actually noting that on my desktop, I’m not getting any ads or sponsored posts, just stuff from those I follow, and other people with similar content (so many frogs and sighthounds). I doubt it’s because Instagram doesn’t force ads on the desktop site. My adblocker is just doing a very, very good job.
