I thought Facebook is in trouble for over curating. They tweaked their algorithms for maximum stay on page time and thus promoted clickbaity content that now increasingly drives away longer-ish time users. FB user count is growing, sure, but not in its lucrative home market, the US.

Click-baity and extremist content. Whether the extreme is more and more 80s PC games, cat videos, or politics, FB thrives but making you more passionate/engaged.
Of course dedicating 1 hour per day talking about Saboteur II is not the same as participating in hate-groups, but this has become our problem, not FB's.
