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.)

I still use FB for Buy Nothing and other local groups. The best way to avoid the insane ads is to go to Menu > Feeds then select exactly what you want to see. There's still ads but it's a fraction of the default main page.
