Facebook News is filled with stories too mainstream to do well on the rest of FB
You know what's weird?<p>I discovered that the following link shows my FB feed in chronological order:<p><a href="https://www.facebook.com/?sk=h_chr" rel="nofollow">https://www.facebook.com/?sk=h_chr</a><p>I thought, oh, great, this is the key to making FB decent again.<p><i>But</i> after a while of using it, it usually shows almost nothing. Sometimes literally nothing. People are still posting stuff though that I can see with the default view. I almost think I may have triggered some sort of adversarial logic that is trying to force me to use the engagement-driven ordering.<p>Edit: In fairness, it could be that they are hostile to uBlock origin, either deliberately or as emergent behavior. I wouldn't mind ads in principle, normal ads like you used to have in print media, but I often get ones that are very unpleasant if I don't use the blocker.
