Opened up FB this morning and it's just full of people posting to celebrities pages! It's so strange! What is going on??

Clearly some sort of virus.. I’m getting loads about Joe Biden and the Rock

I started my day with someone called Mitch sharing a picture of his Jason Statham tattoo with Jason Statham. Followed by someone posting 'I will always love you' to Dolly Parton!

It’s fucking unusable. Don’t see a single thing from friends just wank posted to celebrities and adverts. Would have to scroll for ages to do anything.
think this might be the kick I need to leave FB

Yes all the messages here too but also a massive escalation in ads. I would estimate every other post is a speculative ad for a company I dont
follow eg holiday cabins, clothing brands and pain relief.
Also some posts by the ‘U.K. Government’ which I definitely didn’t receive before or ask to follow!

Yes, bloody adverts all over it.
Loads for cars, car insurance, racing days, car accessories- I don't have a car, or any interest in cars.

glad it’s not just me but Jesus it’s annoying

TreacheryPepper · 24/08/2022 08:39

Yep. Only seeing band pages rather than personal ones. I feel like my arm's been cut off!

Evenstar · 24/08/2022 08:42

The Killers for me Confused

Spudlet · 24/08/2022 08:42

I don’t have the weird messages, but mine is almost all ads these days anyway. I only really keep it because my mum uses it, and I need a personal account to keep my business page. If it weren’t for those two things I’d delete it.

PeterPomegranate · 24/08/2022 08:43

Ha ha! Just checked and no celebrities but entire feed is ads, dog videos (I do like a dog video) or groups I’m in. Nothing from actual friends unless maybe no one is posting anything any more. I certainly post much less these days.

Soubriquet · 24/08/2022 08:43

Lindsey Stirling for me. Which is cool cos she’s awesome

OddGoingsOn · 24/08/2022 07:55

I feel like I’m missing out. Mine’s completely normal!

Same here! 😂

EVHead · 24/08/2022 08:45

Ads ads ads and the same post repeated across the dozen or so local groups I follow. 😡

BluebellsareBlue · 24/08/2022 08:46

Mine are all to Rafa Nadal Shock

PuppyMonkey · 24/08/2022 08:46

Another one here who doesn’t do celebrities on FB and my feed is boringly normal.

ItsAlwaysThere · 24/08/2022 08:47

I have already posted on this thread but now my Facebook feed has changed to show people telling other people happy birthday!

EddieHowesBlackandWhiteArmy · 24/08/2022 08:48

Yes!! This really made me laugh though. How utterly random?!

TreacheryPepper · 24/08/2022 08:50

I've mainly got The Beatles, Amy Winehouse, and Salvador Dali. Someone also just said "hello" to William Shakespeare.

Dustnbones · 24/08/2022 08:50

There’s a new Feed tab along the bottom of the app. If I click that it shows my normal feed instead of lots of messages to Rafa Nadal

FlamingoQueen · 24/08/2022 08:51

Mine is Tom Cruise

maudesvagina · 24/08/2022 08:51

I got Hugh Laurie

Plasmodesmata · 24/08/2022 08:52

It's one of my Facebook friends birthday today. All of her friends, which are people I don't know, are sending her Happy Birthday messages. Which is lovely for her but not sure why I need to see them all.

JuneOsborne · 24/08/2022 08:53

Yes, if you click along the little icons, there's news, market place and feed. If you select feed, and then select friends your feed goes back to normal!

lindawhiston · 24/08/2022 08:53

Same here. All posts to Mike tyson and Lewis Hamilton! Very annoying.

august2022 · 24/08/2022 08:54

Nine Inch Nails and Mindless Self Indulgence …. Plus Mille Bobby Brown and Madonna .

I’m not sure I’ve listened to either of the first two in the last ten years . Must have liked them at the end of my emo phase age 18!!
