Sometimes I wonder if maybe Facebook’s algorithm is amazing and these people could become best friends. But I tried this a few times and they all sucked.

I suspect it’s as stupid as ranking all members based on some dumb algorithm like “25 year olds like females, this is a female” and just shoveling garbage.

Years ago Facebook just kept recommending people I hated over and over. I wish they would have a mode of “you’re good, we can’t think of anyone else you like.”

It’s like going into a store and the salesperson says “this is perfect for you” and they are just showing you every item in their store.

I would assume even trying to click on these profiles just once shows more “engagement“ and that’s the only thing companies like this “understand”.
