So true. I'd like to add that also because of ads, social media and other websites are full of nonsense clickbait content, and every part of the user experience is designed to keep you scrolling through said content. Even with an adblocker, it's like wading through a swamp to find anything actually worth looking for. (Of course, there are still websites with no ads, and even the ones with ads aren't always horrible. But generally, shit sucks.)

I believe you're referring to "the algorithm". Which is usually just code for "a bunch of people that view and engage with the content you have viewed/engaged with also viewed/engaged with this"

I understand what they're doing and I understand why, but sometimes, I just want a reverse chronological feed of my friends activities, so I can keep up to date with their most recent life events.
