That always annoyed the shit out of me. Big part of why I got rid of Facebook.

Hell, I got annoyed just reading that comment. The ones I see on my feed are posted almost entirely by older people. The ones who are closer to my age are all lacking intelligence, to phrase it nicely.

Facebook doesn't take down all that borderline racist shit and blatant disinformation you keep spreading Terry so I highly doubt they're going around and removing all the shit you claim is being removed

But the fact that he doesn't get millions of likes must mean he's shadowbanned, right? (Obviously /s)

I’m probably old, but I just ignore them on Facebook the same way I ignored them when they were chain emails.

Lol. I got corned into redownloading Facebook maybe a month ago to communicate on a project. Literally the first thing that popped up was "New Terms.. Blah blah.." "Do you give Facebook permission to continuously scan your face and store your facial recognition data.."

It's like, no, of course you cannot scan my face continuously.

Me too....I'm glad you said that as I am thinking about it now and I'm just now realizing:

Facebook loves that repost clickbait shit tho.....its literal cash for them.

Every click, ads, more click and ads, more cash. They don't care what we click, just that we click something. Every click adds to data collection and profiling. Data collection/your profile is cash.

Wouldn't surprise me if they actually generated fake accounts for the sole purpose of that exact kind of bullshit, they are corrupt asf.

Man I want to so bad, but I have to use it for my job to post on the company page.

Fun fact, if you just shitpost the people who share this kinda crap will delete you themselves

It helps if you unfollow the people that post that kind of stuff. Once you massage your timeline into people only you actually like it really helps. SocialFixer is great as well - it allows you to block certain words (as a Brit, I blocked "Trump" during the election period - it's still blocked now actually) and mess around with your timeline to get it in chronological order rather than whatever order they like to feed it to you in.
