I still check facebook somehow (I hate it).

Scrolling the timeline, I noticed that it's 90% ads or promoted posts. This is next level...

Is this only me? Or has FB been like this these days? (PLEASE don't spam "quit FB already" messages.)

FYI, you can go directly to messenger.com and avoid seeing the rest of the site entirely. You can also deactivate your Facebook account and leave Messenger (mostly) functional.

Hey, that's handy - thanks! I did have my timeline deleted for a little while, but I reactivated it recently because I needed a couple of extra friend-management features that I couldn't quite get working purely through Messenger. Still, a dedicated Messenger site is super helpful.
