This is a bullshit thing I always hear from pro-FB people. I tried doing that and the result was that my feed is incredibly sparse because it turns out that the most annoying people are the ones that post often, and regular people rarely post. So now, every time I log in, 85% of the content is something I've seen more than 3 times already. Your choice is either crappy content, or redundant content.

I'm in the same boat as you, but this just means you should check Facebook less. Obviously not good for Facebook, but it seems great for us.

My solution has been to unfollow everyone. I still get event notifications, I can still use messenger, but I don’t see ads (the home screen thinks I’m a new user), and it’s one less endless feed to be addicted to. I check it every couple of days, and spend 0 time on site.
Less work than it sounds like. And as you say, bad for them, good for us.
