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 was on FB before most people knew what it was. Trust me...I'm old :P..I deleted my original account many years ago.

Many years later, when I realized that certain family/friends would NOT get rid of it, I started a new account that I locked down.

I only use it to stay in touch with the aforementioned people.

I find, if you use it in this way, then there are no problems with ads or other bullshit.
