I’ve got a whole bunch of suggestions that I send a friend request to a guy who is a friend of a friend and shares my surname. Facebook probably thinks we’re related.
A friend of mine belongs to a million asinine groups so I always get suggestions to join stuff like “A man and a turtle walked across the street for a beer” or “Yes you heard me old people smell like tar” based on his being a member. I have no idea what goes on in these groups but I’m guessing it’s a lot of memes.
They apparently thought something called “Big Rig Fuckups” (or something like that) was in my wheelhouse. Video clips of people getting into jams with trucks or other heavy machinery. I watched one, and it really didn’t do it for me.
Nope, with my beloved for 27 years, married for three (when it was made legal). I’m even listed as married in my profile. I think their algorithms must just suck.
During the previous election, I got craploads of suggested pages for pretty conservative groups including about the orange one. I’ll bet they were paid for too. I had to join liberal groups to get rid of them. After the election I dropped from the liberal groups because while not every liberal place is an echo chamber, echo chambers for every point of view do exist and a Facebook group is a perfect environment for them.
I get that too, but more obviously memes. A good half of my suggested groups have only this one friend as a mutual member.
