I fixed Facebook on my feed at least. I started aggressively unfollowing people who post or comment about politics constantly (even if I agree with them). Not unfriending, just unfollowing.

What’s left is a feed with pictures of my friends and family, important news about what’s going on in their lives, and trash talking about college football.

It’s great.

I tried that too, and wound up unfollowing everyone except the people who never post. Then my page gets filled with "suggested" content.

Isn't it also way too many posts from "suggested" pages, and way too many attention-stealing "reels"?

Didn't work for me. It barely even show me content that my friends create. It's all reaction videos and conspiracy nonsense. Even if you block those channels, another one with a slightly different name pops up.
