But you will probably get me as a friend suggestion now that we have looked at the same profile.


I’ll be on the lookout for it and will totally accept the suggestion.

thats where my head went. for some reason when I think Cajun, Gautreaux is always the first name that pops in my head. As an lsu die hard I think it’s cuz it reminds me of the “geaux” tigers

No, because I have no idea who he is.

Well, if he sends me a friend request and tells me his TD handle, I’ll consider it.

If you use the fb app on your phone it will do things like that. I’ve noticed when I delete the app and run fb from browser it doesn’t track and have such personalized ads.

The most shocking, and somewhat disturbing, aspect of that is that my mom has a Facebook page when she’s been dead for well over 50 years.


Wait someone set up a facebook page for your deceased mother?

It'll typically suggest people whose profile you viewed, then people who are in similar facebook groups, then people who watched the same content as you, then people in your local area.

So, if you're scrolling down, and pause on a random post of someone fishing crappie, good chance others who paused at that same spot will be suggested friends. --- over time, not necessarily that one instance.

I think the algorithm intentionally hides people who view your profile from your suggested friends feed.

Be aware, that any profile you view, will stay tattooed to your account for 6 months. It's hidden in the background and you can't delete it like you can other things.

But to your point, facebook does use trackers, and tracker pixels and it is insidious with the data it keeps on you. It may not suggest friends because of Tigerdroppings, but you can bet your arse Facebook knows your TD handle.

Dunno why they’d bother because any pictures of her they can find would be of a woman from the early 1970s in her early 20s. She was only 23 when she was killed.
