@FibroJedi @inthehands This precise set of shenanigans is the main reason I left Facebook almost entirely about 5 years ago. I still have some family members who are there all the time, so I drop by occasionally to look at some of what they're up to, but it's been a *long* time since it was even sort of useful for its ostensible purpose of staying connected to any significant number of important people in my life.
Apparently the change from "mostly reverse chronological, plus ads and similar junk" to "engagement, engagement, engagement all the time!" meant that "I *just* saw this but didn't engage with it right away" was considered a negative factor for "I may, just may, want to see it again in the future".
