Has Facebook devolved into just people selling things and sharing articles?

Mine hasn't. I deleted 125 or so friends and only see stuff from people I enjoy keeping up with.
Facebook is what you make it. This isn't complicated folks

No, I still see plenty of 'real' posts.

I also unfollow anyone trying to sell shite or anyone who posts political shite non-stop.

All of mine is just people sharing videos and crap. I need to do a purge again.

Mine has recently been taken over by people selling Monat hair products. The big product to sell seems to change every few months.

I long for the days when all I saw were brawds in the bathing suits this time of the year. Now it's everyone's kids and whatever they're hocking these days.

Mine isn't like that. It is handy to keep it touch with friends and family overseas. Just watch what you "like" or else your feed will get all jacked up with garbage.

Facebook was cool when it first launched because it was almost exclusively college kids who were sharing photos and news about local events. I remember when I first got a FB at UT.

It became unbearable when high school kids and parents/grandparents/family members over the age of 35-40 were getting on there. Then it became a place for people to post random bullshite that no one cares about. I haven't had an account for like 5 years now.

It was college email only when I started so, duh. Then high school emails could join a little bit later.

business email addresses weren't for a couple years after I think and then completely open to anyone was even longer.

This was all 10+ years ago so I don't remember that well.

My Facebook is all about Buy/Sell/Trade, baby pictures, and my older friends (age 40+) do nothing but post about politics.

I hope that is the case. FB addiction is so toxic.
