> those sweet, sweet red circles with a number in them that meant someone, somewhere vaguely agreed with something you posted

Now, you get those whenever you join a group, save an event, have a friend like a post from someone you don't even know, etc etc etc.

I've seen several of my "friends" leave Facebook over the last year simply because the platform isn't a "face book" anymore, but a rough media consumption platform susceptible to manipulation by advertisers, political opponents, nation states, and [dank memes]. It's basically become internet middle school in terms of post quality, and people are noticing.
