    Yeah Facebook was vastly different back in the day. Instead of having a shadowy algorithm deciding which posts to show you, you just got a chronological view of all your friends’ posts. So during major events, you’d usually see lots of posts that taken out of context make absolutely no sense.

    When Facebook moved to them deciding what you wanted to see, it completely changed the whole vibe.

      I miss the cat videos.

      Now it’s all suggested posts about things I am interested in but with a not-so-subtle culture war slant.
