My facebook feed is mostly spam. Mostly app ads and very lame things that distant acquaintances have liked.
Facebook ignores the people who I tend to "like". It ignores the profiles I look at periodically. It ignores the people who I message with.
Facebook forgets which setting I prefer (most recent vs most popular) again and again.
Facebook shows me the same annoying ads again and again even though I don't click on them and spend no time hovering over them in the mobile app.
Facebook knows that I continue to log in at least twice a day and that rarely is there any new information for me, since my friends have all drastically curtailed their facebook usage.
I think it's too late. Soon the habit of checking facebook will disappear.
My advice. Remove the ads immediately, create different experiences for people with 100 friends vs 300 vs 500 vs 1000 vs 3000. Don't ever show the same spammy stuff twice unless the recipient likes it. The fact that my distant high school acquaintance likes Samsung is of ZERO value to me and frankly it's incredibly annoying to be told about the major corporations that distant acquaintances have clicked the like button about again and again and again.
Today I got an email with stuff I "missed" on Facebook. This makes me think that Facebook is dying. Just take the advice in the above paragraph and restore it to its previously useful state.
A little hiding goes a long way. I only hide if I notice repeat offenders (happens about every other week), and signal to noise ratio hovers around 1 to 1 for me.
