> Most people's Facebook friends are people they know, so probably not.

The individuals actually on most people's Facebook friends list are people they know (who probably haven't logged in to the site in 5+ years on average) but the actual feed you see when interacting with the site is like 1-5% those people and 95-99% shit-posting meme accounts you never asked to see that almost certainly are entirely AI driven at this point.

In the virtual world, I do not believe these meme accounts will ever vanish, nor will platforms give you the magic button to not see them.
I don't disagree with either of those predictions, which is one of the main reasons why I just don't engage with those platforms anymore.
We have to do what's best for our benefit.
