I think when you click on the offending profile to block it, Facebook must decide that’s what you like to see. Or something.

Because some moron has 1000 profiles for “cars under $2500” and the more of them I clicked and blocked , the more of them would show up in my feed.

I hate that I can’t opt out of the “for you” stuff and don’t actually see anything from family or friends anymore . And I hate that the more I try to block a certain type of content (say: “Salma Hayek boobies”) the more I’m spammed with it.

So much that I have not even logged on in about a year.

This is probably it. They do not discriminate types of engagement - blocking or unfollowing is still engagement, and some team is probably gaming their numbers by intentionally not discriminating.

Meta is a rotten company.
