The worst thing about the Facebook feed is that it shows me the LIKES of my friends. I don't want to see their goddamn likes. I want to see their posts.

This is the one thing that made me so angry, especially during the election. I thought they were posting things onto their feed that was overly political, but then I realized all they were doing was liking things. It's not their fault.

Facebook needs to get rid of the Likes from my friends from my stream. It's the worst part of the feed and the least useful.

Seems it worked as intended during the elections. Next cycle they might have to come up with something else to reel you in.
