I worked out that it doesn't show me my Friends posts as my Friends don't post anything anymore!

Scrolling through Facebook is like walking through an Outlet Mall in a foreign country.

Which is understandable, because FB optimizes for clickability and shows very few posts of those who rarely post (and whose posts really deserve attention imo) so after seeing no reaction from their friends ("are they ignoring me?" - no, FB just decided not to include your post in their feeds) they just gave up.
