I don’t really use facebook anymore so couldn’t care less; but so happened to log in today to change my password and saw this on my front page.

Your ad blocker is blocking posts from friends

Thank fucking god

My Facebook is hardly even friends these days. It’s basically ads, suggested posts, and posts in groups. Maybe because none of my friends really post anymore, I dunno.

I’m at the stage where I check it once a day, maybe twice, for things like birthdays and anything important that my friends post. 90% of what’s there is suggested posts, ads, or reposted shit. ‘What type of gemstone suits you best? Tap here to find out!’

Yeah 1 out of 10 is a friend’s post. The rest is just garbage.
