Facebook is even worse nowadays



For me Facebook its full of adverts and suggest post from groups I'm not part of, most of which are AI generated images and/or clickbait headlines. Plus Reels which I don't want to watch.


I never paid for Facebook


You don't need to when you are the product.


That's the point I'm trying to make. I pay for YouTube, I should be able to choose that i don't want to watch shorts, for instance. A few days ago whenever they suggest shorts in my feed, there was a "not interested" button. It's gone now


> I should be able to choose that i don't want to watch shorts, for instance

You can, it's called just not watching them. YouTube isn't forcing you to watch shorts, they're not forcing you to use their recommendations either.

If you don't like the service you can stop paying for it, that's always an option.
