The quality of content on my Facebook feed has taken a turn for the worse lately. I regularly see sponsored or related posts that I have absolutely no interest in, leaving me with a more negative impression of that business and of the value of the Facebook experience. I don't mind ads, but they should at least be relevant. If you are putting ads directly in my feed that are as far from relevant to me as possible, then you've got a problem.

It all started when I saw a post about purchasing country-style boots from a discount country store. Then it got worse with posts promoting Walmart. I believe those posts suffered from the problem noted in this article. It looked somewhat like a friend promoting Walmart.

Does anyone know if there is a way to hide this stuff?
