Disallow sharing of links. Only allow sharing of personal photos and statements of the old school type "MyName is feeling so and so...". That is how Facebook started and grew big. And it's what I signed up for, not the clickbait infested link sharing site it is now.. Curious: my photo to link ratio is probably 1-to-10. Is that the same for others?

Yeah, unfortunately looking at your friends' pictures gets old pretty fast, and you're not gonna do that every hour of the day.

I'd be happy if a Facebook2 came around to only do what Facebook did, but I'm pretty sure no one would sign up since everyone is already on Facebook anyway.

These days I try only to connect to messenger, there I can keep in touch with friends without the "news feed" functionality.

Use instagram then - there are other choices. FB is meant to be a full stack platform.
