- Viral ads, the most obvious being "share this and get a chance to win..."
- Friends or promoting their own, their friends or some other business they want to promote
- Friends trying to sell their stuff
Just because it comes from someone close doesn't make it less of an ad.
And for some reason Facebook algorithms seem to put the least interesting post forwards. Personal ads, pseudo-profound bullshit and viral "opinion" pieces, etc... My friends in real life are people I find interesting, I mean, why would I want them as friends otherwise? But looking at my Facebook feed, I don't recognize the people I enjoy spending time with.
