My Facebook feed is suddenly just filled with people sending pictures to celebrities I follow, mostly Dwayne The Rock Johnson, and apparently I’m not the only one. This happen to anyone else?

I found this, talking about the issue:

> **[Facebook users report seeing 'random' posts to celebrities in their feed](https://ca.sports.yahoo.com/news/facebook-users-report-seeing-random-082400513.html)**

> Facebook users around the world have reported issues with their homepage while trying to browse the app. The problems were highlighted on other social media platforms like Twitter, where people mentioned seeing "random" people posting on the pages...
