What the hell is going on with Facebook right now?

Many years ago, when we were too young to act lucidly, we made a mistake: we followed the personal pages of hundreds of celebrities on Facebook. Those likes were slowly buried by the sands of time - at least until this morning when a Facebook glitch used them to clog the feeds of users halfway around the world. Those who woke up this morning found their feeds overrun with random messages that random Facebook users wrote on these celebrities' pages: people writing greetings or posting heart emoji on the feeds of stars like Cristiano Ronaldo, Taylor Swift, Billie Eilish, Tom Cruise, Adele or Eminem is everywhere on everyone's feed and everyone can see it. As soon as the part of the Internet people who hold a sense of humor noticed the glitch (and that is approximately a few minutes later) the comments of real fans began to be mixed with ironic memes of all kinds, and the chaos we see today on our Facebook feeds is explained.

According to Downdetector, the glitch should have occurred between 3:45 p.m. and 5:15 p.m. yesterday in the United States and thus should have been fixed or in the process of being fixed. Nonetheless, the problem in the algorithm still remains visible in Facebook feeds around the world even now with some users claiming on Twitter that the issue concerns a hacking attempt at Meta's servers and not an actual glitch. Many others said ironically that they are only now noticing how many useless comments and nonsense people (whether real or bots) post on the most random celebrity pages in their spare time. Maybe it's time to unfollow those pages we pessoed "Like" to in middle school and detoxify from spam. Meta has not commented for the time being.
