No doubt, Facebook might in some ways be like a garage sale where one person's trash is another person's clutter.
But seriously, there are days when I think some of those on my friends list don't have enough to do. All of us on FB have probably shared or posted quotes, humorous YouTube videos, and various photographs or drawings of animals and/or famous people purportedly saying something that might be funny.
But when I see hundreds of witty sayings clogging up my newsfeed, I start noticing that some people are sitting at their computers for hours, posting a new canned graphic and "witticism" every 30 seconds. I'll stipulate that I am in the retirement generation, so it's highly possible that I "don't get it," but what's the point of deluging all of us with this stuff?
Or, are people just too bored for their own good?
It would be nice to see some actual personal news or a mention about the relatives coming to town or even the weather.
Cluelessly,
Malcolm

I would like to agree with you, but at the moment, I'm too busy sorting through kitty pictures and trying to come up with clever slogans to put on them. Maybe tomorrow.
I have a couple of friends (and they're real-life friends, too) who post picture after picture of funny/religious slogans, literally dozens of them at a time. I finally ended up hiding one of them from my news feed!

I know the feeling, Smoky, because as writers, we have to have better slogans.
Melinda, I've been hiding stuff, too, but there is apparently a never-ending supply.

Go to FB, time your visit and leave.
Do not go quietly into that dark night. Avoid high traffic time. If you are exhausted by seeing the same idiot message posted over and over, mark it as spam. Fight back, then leave!
I must admit, Lynne, that I'm nor very proactive about it. :-)
