Why is Facebook filled with so much random junk now?

I remember when you could go on Facebook and look through your feed at what your friends are saying, catch up with them, and browse posts that they have made. Now, it's just completely random and chaotic, almost nonsensical. There's no logical sense to my Facebook feed at all. As you can see in the image, they are showing me stuff that I'm not even following. This is not even something that I am actively a part of! It's some random group. So what's the point of following a group or liking a page, if they're just going to show you random stuff anyway?

Like, wtf happened to this website?

The solution is to keep using craigslist - it still exists and gets some activity. Ensure that it gets more.

I have never been on Facebook, never even been on the website.

The day it started I told my college-age family that it was a privacy nightmare. They called me paranoid.

Facebook's Shadow profile on you doesn't care whether you have an account or visited their site.

I'm not going to allow them to coerce me into making an account because they have a simulacrum of me.
