I'm quite disappointed with how my Facebook news feed is set up now. It is overwhelmingly dominated by ads, Reels, and posts from pages I haven't chosen to follow. It's rare to see updates from the pages and friends I actually want to engage with; they often get lost in a sea of irrelevant content.This shift has a real consequence for local organizations, like the 3 Palms Zoo. Even when they invest in boosted posts, it's likely that their message is being missed by the local community due to the sheer volume of other content. What used to be a valuable space for local businesses to connect with their audience now feels like a lost opportunity.Beyond the content itself, the overall user experience has become unnecessarily complicated. Navigating the platform and understanding its various features has become confusing and less user-friendly.Furthermore, when I've tried to get help with these issues, the support provided hasn't felt particularly effective. This adds to the overall sense of frustration with the platform's current direction.My hope is that this feedback is helpful in identifying areas where significant improvements are needed, ultimately making Facebook a more valuable platform for both individual users and businesses.
