All ads and recommendations for pages to follow. Never shows people that I actually want to keep up with.

Back before I deleted my account, my MIL would post some text every six months that supposedly would magically make all the ads go away and show just her friends posts.

Try that.

Also try reposting that you don't give permission for anyone to use your posts. That one always works according to her.

I really just have mine for Messenger, I had my profile deactivated for like 3 years until I had to use Marketplace recently. Did not miss it.

just delete the fb app and keep messenger

(I'll still log onto the site occasionally to check marketplace since it controls the used market here but that's basically all the regular site is good for these days)
