Facebook 12+

It would be made better for me if
1) I could sort in market place, those things I have not read to the top of the list on that page.
2) stop adding to my inbox by making a fake question that says: “are you still interested”. It appears in bold, as if you have a new message from the seller… but in reality it’s just to misguild you and make an unread message by Facebook putting their nose in my business. I have the ability on my own to follow-up and inquire if I’m still interested or not. From a seller perspective, they should understand that I’m not interested enough to purchase at that point in time. And, it would be socially awekward to interrupt my day with such obviousness. But low and behold Facebook doesn’t care so they go ahead and add another 1-2 automated questions to each item I inquire about. Stop doing this it’s rude.
3) I have no other complaints other than selling micro organisms is no more selling animals than the lady down the street who sold a dump truck load of “dirt” filled with micro organisms…. Which is “fine” since they are sold as dirt…. But tell people all the animals you get in that pile and they take down your post! 🤦🏻‍♂️💡👌

Facebook used to be amazing. Now it’s mostly ads. They tried to create an algorithm where you have visibility of the same group of people over and over, it’s VERY boring. Their reels platform was actually getting pretty cool because they paid content creators to come over, but then when things started going well, they stopped paying them. They refused to ever monetize my account because I posted a video with a watermark, 15 videos back. Their appeal process is horrible and they have literally zero customer service. They “shadow ban” you if you post a link or share a news story so no one actually has visibility unless they search for it on my page. They grossly limit freedom of speech, esp for LGBTQ and other minority groups. They layered in so many things it got confusing, messenger is it’s own app, but reels is not, making reels difficult to share. Their system in wonky and hard to maneuver through, you get used to it, but the whole time your think “why?”. It has some value for older people to stay in touch, that’s the only good thing I can say. Like an abandoned amusement park, it used to be fun, but now it’s rusty and outdated.

I HATE HATE HATE HATE the prompt “is this still available?” It’s such a waste of my time and encourages people to waste it! Over half the people that ask to buy something simply lose interest and stop responding. THAT question starts it. I have wasted hours of my life responding “yes” to that dumb question. And now the new template response, “yes are you still interested”?!? If they weren’t why did they ask to begin with?!? Questions I want to see are of buyers asking where and when to meet, etc or for more information, done. Fast and simple transaction. Not hemming and hawing for weeks. I know there are many other people like me who delete ads right after things are sold and are also frustrated by this, so PLEASE change it!

Facebook is progressively becoming more of a clickbait ad site instead of a place to see and follow friends. Moreover Facebook is doing nothing about ad scams. I personally lost $80 from one of them selling inflatable kayaks I never got, and there’s a YETI one with fake Yeti bags they’re doing nothing about. I’m sick of ads in the marketplace such as Yumi or whatever it’s called. I accidentally click on it every time because it looks just like any other ad so then I have to close the link and get back to marketplace getting annoyed.

I’m nearly to the point of deleting facebook. If so much of my life and that of my family wasn’t on here in timeline, I would.
