I still check facebook somehow (I hate it).

Scrolling the timeline, I noticed that it's 90% ads or promoted posts. This is next level...

Is this only me? Or has FB been like this these days? (PLEASE don't spam "quit FB already" messages.)

Economy of scale: you either have a large enough active user base and fewer ads or a smaller active user base with more ads. Just another indication of the slow death of FB.
