The content was typically once a day and people would spend 5 minutes "getting the right angle" and other 10 minutes picking the right filter. Today my Facebook feed is clogged with people reposting links, videos, or photos that are more click bait than news worthy. Instagram still allows me to see what my network is up to without the political headlines

Politics, 9gag, and general clickbait are killing Facebook. It's hideous. Stopped using it after unfollowing most of my "friends". Never looked back.

Also a random pretty girl pic gets 1000 likes while a good original post gets 100 if lucky. Why bother.
