Someone logged into Facebook after 8 years away and found the News Feed wall-to-wall AI-generated thirst traps and engagement bait. No posts from friends, no content from followed pages -- just slop. The algorithm had no engagement history to work with, so it fell back on whatever gets clicks. The result is a portrait of what Facebook looks like when the social graph is gone and only the recommendation engine remains.
