(14,046 posts)I block at least a dozen of their "Suggested for you" every day and they keep coming. They will NEVER run out of wing-nut sites to "Suggest". There are many thousands, maybe tens of thousands, and probably most are hosted by Russia and other Eastern European troll farms.
Considering that the only political pages that I might comment, follow, or like are strongly liberal, it is an interesting insight into their algorithms.
I am a 60+ white male (not sure if they actually know my race, but it probably would not matter). The gender and age knowledge is probably sufficient to be targetted for right-wing outrage, hate, and fear-mongering. Plus, I do follow a few aviation history sites that are also popular with the "Gravy Seal" wannabe demographic.
As for the memes from these pages themselves, Good Lord they are lame! These people think Ben Garrison is spot-on hilarious.
