Quit Social Media, Your Career May Depend on It (2016)

No I don't. I'm typically using Facebook app on android and I never see any news. Logged on to desktop version now and none there as well. Scrolled through about 100 items on my feed and the only thing I see are posts from friends and intermittent ads from companies which are "liked" by my friends.

I'm guessing maybe it's because I'm in/from Sweden and they haven't set up newsfeeds for this place.

I do see how showing negative news to people would have affect on what people post. And maybe it's a cultural thing as well - one of the hot topics in Sweden is immigration but very few people post about it, probably just because it's such a divider and few good things will come out by starting a Facebook discussion.

Get this. Every single time you visit facebook, right above the fold is some depressing news. Every. Single. Time.

It has an effect on some.

Maybe you misread what I wrote. I wrote that I do understand this.
