LittleThings online publisher shuts down, blames Facebook's algorithm

I honestly prefer the Friends and Family content over all the videos and articles that were filling up my feed previously. I think that it sucks for all these publishers that relied on Facebook, but I know I for one was getting fed up with Facebook being filled with stuff my friends liked instead of life updates.

Whereas on my FB, I've unfollowed almost every individual and my feed is 90%+ "groups". Facebook is absolutely superb for associating with random interest groups, I've found, now that Usenet is next to useless. Pages, though? Meh.

I thought I was the only weirdo that prefers to interact with random strangers rather than people I know on Facebook. I miss the days of IRC and AIM screen names. Now we have "real name policies"...

Groups are the only thing that keep my account active. I miss the Groups app for iOS though.

I agree. I had tuned my FB feed to be cute animals, updates on F&F (& their kids) and physics and math jokes. The US 2016 election completely messed that up and I eventually just stopped visiting. I just went back a couple of days ago and most of the stuff I consider noise is gone.
