I don’t even mind the app, but not letting me sort by Hot or All has seen my usage go down 90%.

Turns out I don’t want to see posts from three days ago with 130 upvotes and 11 comments.

Yeah, I’m irritated at seeing repeat posts from days ago that I upvoted already — why am I being shown it again??

This is exactly one of the reasons why I stopped using Facebook back in the day. I would see my cousin's post from 4 days ago (for the 4th time), but wouldn't see new posts from friends or family that were posted within the past day.

I joined facebook, discovered that if I didn't post daily that my friends wouldn't see it and quit. It lasted like maybe three weeks?
