I find it interesting that nowhere in the article did the author write the name of the actor / musician he's referring to, it's only highlighted in pictures. Maybe trying not to add to this guy's SEO?
I agree - Instagram and Facebook I only follow / friend people that I'm actually friends with and would normally speak with. Limiting it this (1) makes it less frustrating / argumentative content, but also (2) makes it run out of content faster, which means spending less time on it.
My biggest complaint about Facebook (besides the obvious shitty company stuff) is that I don't want to see what other people are sharing (meme posts, etc). I wish there was an "only show me OC" filter.
