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

FB is literally just ads and forced follows.

No interest in Derby local news but went to delete it and could only choose to snooze for 30 days. I never fucking followed in the first place.

FB is the new MySpace

Mine’s Bear Grylls!

Apparently Facebook has had an update where you can post directly to a celeb and then we’ve all woke up this morning to our news feeds with god knows what posted to celebs. I’ve seen a few people say their news feeds have went down due to Facebook trying to fix the update to stop it happening so hopefully it will stop soon

IcedOatLatte · 24/08/2022 08:56

No celebrity messages but I did notice that the only non group post was someone I work with wishing happy birthday to a random friend of his

I can't see any new things at the bottom

There are lots of posts with QR codes on the Tom Hanks page, and I’m also seeing birthday messages that friends are sending to their friends! I had to unfollow the Tom Hanks page, it was too weird.

icelollycraving · 24/08/2022 08:56

Mine have now also got Jason Statham. Who knew people sent such shit?!

Morninmornin · 24/08/2022 08:57

Same on mine! There is a new tab at the top mine is 3rd over from the home icon and there it allows you to choose who appears in your news feed, friends groups or all posts etc. Must be a dodgy update.

Springblossom2022 · 24/08/2022 08:59

Thought it was just me! Mine is full of the same, it's really annoying. Hopefully just a bug that they'll fix soon

ChardonnaysBeastlyCat · 24/08/2022 09:33

I have to say I'm beginning to understand when celebrities moan about being a celebrity.

1984Winston · 24/08/2022 09:52

Mine is Joe Lycett, who I do at least like but it's still weird

Skiphopbump · 24/08/2022 09:58

Yes to Ricky Gervais and a couple of others

GrouchyKiwi · 24/08/2022 10:03

My day started with a feed full of dog photos people were posting to Jeff Goldblum's wall, which was fine, but now it's full of TRA nonsense posted to JKR, which is a lot less fine.

If I set it back to Most Recent (which Facebook really objects to) then it's back to normal friend and group stuff.

Abraxan · 24/08/2022 10:21

Mine's done it too. Lots of,random celebrities, fan pages and 'interest' type pages.

Doesn't seem quite as bad now as it did earlier this morning.

I assume it's some form of bug thing going in??

Andromachehadabadday · 24/08/2022 10:23

Mines back to normal
