Horse 2356 - You Won't Believe Number 9

As far as I'm concerned, the way that the Facebook algorithms work is basically a load of unicorns and goblins. As an end user who is aware that I am the product that Facebook is trying to sell to advertisers, I am suspicious of the tactics used by both the platform and the entities who want to sell me stuff.
One source of immense confusion for me are the links to websites which say that "you won't believe what X looks like today" or "the real reason why Y left Z", when I have no idea who X, Y or Z were in the first place. I also those links to lists of things bewildering, when I clearly have no desire to find out what number 16 is no matter how unbelievable it supposedly is.

I have no idea why Facebook seems to think that I would ever be interested in any of these things when I never click on them; so that says to me that somebody somewhere must be and they think that I am an average user. If that's the case, then I'm obviously doing it wrong and what you all want is a random list of rubbish.

Incidentally, there is a connection to all of these things. I'm not going to tell you what it is but maybe if you spend enough time thinking about the incredible inanity of it all, you might be able to work it out. Maybe give the list to the goblins at Facebook and let them explain it; while I fly away on my magical neon pegasus.
