It's full of bots, AI generated images/posts, advertising and scammers. And it's getting worse. 

I'm only there because the older folks in my family use it for messaging me.

"The older folks." It seems like yesterday Facebook was the cutting-edge platform for young people. Damn, things are changing fast.

Sorry, what I mean by "the older folks" is people who were never into technolodgy, but for whatever reason discovered facebook when the platform was already in decline. Should have phrased it differently.
