No doubt you have noticed, Facebook has made some "subtle changes"...
One is to "suggest" things you might find interesting.
Based on what, I have no idea!! No doubt they got some algorithm going..
Though lately, this algorithm has done nothing but to annoy the crap out of me.
For example, I just logged on now, and the first thing Facebook suggest to me is an article on
"Your Relationship Goals for 2017?"...
Really?! Now I need Facebook to tell me how I should conduct a relationship in 2017?
How grand! Where is that "block" button for these stupid suggestions?
Do you use Facebook? And if so how is the suggestion feature work out for you

Facebook is of the devil! Stay off of it at all costs, if you want to save your soul.

@Drosophila I know you have a soul, because if you didn't you wouldn't be complaining about Facebook!

Lol, at least yours are fun, mine is mostly condescending, it's either relationship advices or self-help stuff!

I don't seem to have that option! I hope if I complain enough, they will blank the page for me

@Drosophila I'm sure you're not the only one who wants them off.

It lost its appeal to me. I use it less and less as time goes by.

I just post a few pics on Facebook and then I am out. The only suggestion FB made to me was to 'okay' the past year in-review. I love what they did so I okay-ed that. I haven't seen anything for relationship goals yet.
