> In fact, based on our analysis, political content makes up about 6% of what you see on Facebook.

I can assure you, if it was only 6%, I wouldn't have deleted the app. Between that and every third post being an ad, it was too much. You monetized too hard. The content was too consistently emotionally draining. You lost me.

Haven’t used Facebook for many years but it’s possible your friends delve into politics more than your average user?

I still use Facebook, barely. But only the messenger app and even that is annoying. I keep getting messages about some girl wanting to hook up in my hometown of ${VPN_LOCATION} or that Biden is trying to light the country on fire or something.

I wish I could quit it, but it's how I keep in touch with my family. It's just such a shame that it's turned into such a flaming pile.
