I know Facebook has been making some changes to how they serve you “suggested posts” as they have been under a lot of fire for some of their algorithmic design (using race as a variable, as an example).
But wow am I getting some interesting “suggestions” on my feed.
I’ve got a lot of powerlifting/exercise pages I follow and today I noticed a lot (10+ today) of suggestions for eating disorder treatments and cosmetic surgery.
I have a few NFL players in the mix and now I’m seeing football (soccer) players showing up.
It was not like this before. Most of the suggestions were a pretty close match.
Anybody else getting a lot of ads that miss the mark?

I’ve been getting a lot of “opposite day” suggestions as well. Mostly assorted conservative & military enthusiast propaganda when I’m a Bernie-voting hippie.

I’m so inoculated against ads I wouldn’t notice. Even while watching live TV... I’ll notice something in one and ask my wife what it was advertising and she looks at me like I’m dim then informs me it has come on 4 Times during the game and has been coming on for weeks (and still doesn’t tell me what it was for).
So yeah, haven’t noticed.

I wouldn’t have either, but the eating disorder and cosmetic surgery stuff jumped out at me.

I’m getting frustrated with the suggested friends. People I know from work activities keep popping up, but I haven’t given Facebook access to my contacts, and my digital footprint is rather small. So, how the hell are they making the connections without direct access to my contacts? I suspect that they slipped me a mickey at some point and I accidentally gave them temporary access. Once the cat’s out of the bag, there’s no going back.

The wedding industrial complex is quite a force to be reckoned with

About 70% of my FB “suggestions” are about old and/or crappy car groups. Probably 20% dank memes and 10% everything else. I also use Adblock. Am I Oppo’ing correctly?
