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.)

It's definitely like this. I don't entirely mind it for myself, because it reminds me to log off before I can get into a doomscroll where I'm assailed by my family member's awful opinions. I only use FB for marketplace/buy nothing groups, and the barrage of shitty ads/promo posts helps me log off as soon as I've found what I need (or have given up on finding what I need).
