Tell HN: FB Is Broadcasting Posts from Young Women in Travel and Roommate Groups

The latest bizarre “suggested post” trend I’m seeing is posts from attractive young women in groups like “Roommates in Boulder” or “Backpacking in New Zealand”. Predictably, the comments are full of creeps. I assume that since I’m seeing them and I have nothing to do with those places, they are being broadcasted all over the world. The posts have legitimate comments too, so I’m assuming these are real groups and not just sly OnlyFans ads.

I realize these aren’t private groups, but the gross thing is that they are being selectively pushed by the algorithm to people who otherwise would never see them. And it’s only young women.
