Before deleting my FB account, friends and family would post stuff non-stop all day long like any typical user, including photos, videos, live-stream, ect... When it came to sharing news stories, friends and family would share the most BS and ridiculous news stories and information imaginable, like "weed cures cancer" or "FB will start charging soon!" or those "like" farm posts that had some stuff you'd probably only see on rotten.com (is that still a thing?) but because they were asking for prayers and such, it was given a pass and "liked".

Anyhow, its funny how stuff like that got the most shares and likes from friends and family while anything remotely related to reality and grounded in truth was always looked over, such as anything reported by any legitimate news agency. Basically, anything that was written by some random fake news website was the most shared news by FB friends and family and taken seriously as fact (I know cause of people's comments on shared posts) cause everyone on FB trusts their friends and family and they help each other to boost their narcissistic narratives and world views.

Anyhow, moral of the story is, when you got a huge following and you post like crazy the most personal stuff, people support you no matter what you say, especially if you're family. You can spread whatever rumor you want and everyone will be on board every single time because shared news is always true and FB friends are just as smart as you are, so you trust them.
