It started when they introduced the non chronological timeline. Everything from then on was about driving users to use the app more as opposed to being a tool to connect friends.

Thanks to facebook I have met many friends throughout the world, including my now wife, and have managed to keep in touch with them as I travel the world and land in my friends home countries.

It is so sad that the tool I'm describing doesn't really exist anymore.

Fwiw, https://facebook.com/?sk=h_chr still/again works. Recently rediscovered it, and essentially got my old fb experience back. Add a normal adblock, and manually block reels, and you'll only see what friends and followed pages (90% musicians for me) post.

And the non-chrono timeline was said to be necessary because friends are posting too much to keep up with.

Before they introduced the non-chrono timeline the main complaint about Facebook was "I don't care about seeing what my cousin ate for lunch", and from that perspective it almost makes sense.

  Yeah but that was in the earlier days, and I think that stopped happening well before they went non-chrono. Which is also maybe they went non-chrono, they realized the social part was losing steam.
