I assume users want this content. I never see news, politics, etc because I’m not interested and FB has learnt I won’t engage in it.

I’m not trying to say this makes me good or bad or special. I’m saying that they use feedback each user individually and it seems allot of people want that stuff.

The FB app and website is a remix of friends, groups, and Craigslist

It has actually become a bad user experience.

I'm in the same boat.

Honestly people like to say "x social media sucks" but in actuality it's far simpler than that : people suck in general. Only now you get to see it for yourself at a more general level as opposed to anecdotal experience.
