Comment on Social media ads passing as posts: How advertising slips into Instagram

The fact that my Facebook timeline had become a pretty steady ratio of 1 ad:1 suggested post which is essentially an ad):1 post from either someone I follow, a group post from a group I’m in, or a post from an account that I liked or a few other ad-like types of posts, meant I only saw content I wanted on one or two posts out if every 20 or so posts in my timeline and I rarely saw important posts from friends. That was one of many reasons I left.
