Not just Facebook, but also make sure to avoid TikTok, Instagram and YouTube, along with YouTube Shorts. Many of them are just nothing but fake AI content, and these days people are using AI to create fake profiles of good-looking, cute girls doing impossible things or actually showing off their bodies, and so on. At least 50% of what you see on your feed should be considered AI-generated content.

I would say save your time and energy, and invest that into something else - forget all this social media.

I don't do TikTok. My instagram feed doesn't seem too bad by comparison.

Youtube shorts also seem OK for me, but of course definitely elevated compared to regular videos recommended to me.

Lastly:

Agree. The promise of social media hasn't worked out. It was nice during the early Netflix streaming days, but has gotten progressively worse since then.

My favorite is the 83-year-old AI grandma on youtube giving retirement advice. They put her in various settings and she looks and sounds very real.

The only obvious tell is the eyes don't track right. But once they fix that, it's really going to be hard to know.

All the comments are how great her advice is, etc.

Every video has a link to a book she "wrote" on amazon. I didn't waste my time trying to figure out what the scam is.

The one really pissing me off is this avalanche of "handmade goth" products, featuring a sad goth girl who supposedly made everything and is having a hard time making money because it's so time consuming. The videos show her making things like lamps, watches, etc. and it's realistic enough you might be fooled...

...If your feed wasn't full of goth girls selling the same exact items with the same exact story. It's a drop-shipping scam. The same kind as before, but now with AI goth girls.

Goth girls ... they went with the right kind of fetish after all
