    Social media peaked in 2012/2013, before just before recommendation algorithms became a thing. Everything became insufferable afterwards.

      That’s kind of my feeling too, although it’s dangerously close to “better back in my day” given my age.

      The period after they shut down browser popups, but before they invented those virtual DOM-hacking popups was great, and that’s a measurable change.

      TBH, I found FB insufferable already in 2008, when I deleted my back-then 1 y/o account.

        Agree, I felt the bad effects of FB around then. It was just so pointless.
