The saying goes if you’re not the customer, you’re the product. Now, you’re both. Every big social media app is testing subscriptions. It's a business model that comes with a perverse incentive. Just like airlines, if you make life worse, more people will pay.
Facebook has been slowly becoming worse, I don’t know if it’s the algorithm just not showing me stuff I’m interested in, or all the people that posted interesting stuff left, but I’m using it less and less.
Reddit’s quality has gone downhill, lemmy is okay but still small.
The algorithm is really trash. I interact with a posts once then the algorithm think i want to see more for days or even weeks. One of my passion is to listen to unpopular hip hop artists yet the algorithm only shows mainstream artists and not even posts about their music but about their personal life instead. I’m glad they added a chronological feed. There’s a couple of facebook groups that are interesting like a group about my neighbourhood group or the running group of my city ,it’s also great to find local events
Did you just said… underrated? 🧢😎🎤🎵

I only get fake prank videos on Facebook. Like the most ridiculous situations. I have no idea why. Whenever I need to go to FB for a legit reason, I just need to close it ASAP before I get the next fake prank video.
They have no idea what my interests are, which is great.
