The super annoying thing about reels is how they don’t just play fully in the feed the way Tik Tok does. You see a weird 2 second loop and on that have to choose whether to engage. And FB has a horrible history with video, filling the feed with videos 10x too long that had no point and not letting users track forward.

I cannot hate FB more than I do. If it wasn’t for Marketplace, my account would have been deactivated years ago. And even Marketplace is obnoxious in a myriad of ways.

Marketplace always switches back to non local pickup when you search for something new. So annoying. We get you make no money from p2p local selling but they should just accept that and not make the users experience worse.

The crazy thing is they fill the feed with ads in between the p2p stuff so they should be making money, and those ads would be much more relevant since they know a user’s search terms (so higher rates per ad), but then they just make the user experience of searching suck.

I’d say the entire Facebook UX sucks. If I didn’t know better I’d think it was a startup with inexperienced designers. Shocking how complicated and lazy it feels.
