It's really amazing how different people's experiences with Facebook are. I have been on Facebook since it started (I was at one of the original schools, I was in that famous first million users).

My feed is entirely photos of friends' kids, invitations to local events (things I actually attend), folk-dancing groups I'm involved with, and the like. I have literally never, not once, not ever, seen any rage-bait or political content (other than that directly written by friends - not reposted) in my feed.

Same, i don't see any problem with my facebook feed, it's all just friends and family postings and local events and some local news posts and things like that.

No political content or anything I would consider rage bait.

Huh, I wonder if there's a flag on the first million users (or some proxy for "Zuck's cohort") from the worst of the slop shoveling. It would sure save him some pointed remarks.

My wife's feed is very similar and she only got an account a few years ago.

It's probably like Youtube. Look up one WWII video there and suddenly you're getting spammed with "How to be a neo-Nazi" videos.
