4. The AI content dominates it

Fri Apr 10, 2026, 09:59 AM

It's all fake stuff now. Like 80% of the content is AI on my feed. You have to scroll through pages of nonsense to find one post from a friend or family member.

I am kind of an introvert, I don't stay in contact with too many friends, but I do like that FB lets me keep up on their lives, makes me still connected somehow and I need that. I feel like if I got rid of FB, I would lose contact with several dozen people I want to stay connected to. I'm not going to reach out and start collecting phone numbers, and I am not on much else for social media. But I am thinking of leaving regardless.
