The Strange Surge of Spam on Facebook: From “Shrimp Jesus” to Random Meme Dumps

Facebook’s newsfeed is increasingly cluttered with bizarre and bewildering content. Users are reporting a rise in spam, ranging from AI-generated oddities like the infamous “Shrimp Jesus” to old posts suspiciously resurfacing, seemingly reshared by bots.

These aren’t just random glitches — they appear to be part of a broader, unsettling trend. Some pages churn out a relentless stream of random content, from memes to movie clips, posted at regular intervals. The result is a chaotic digital landscape where authentic interactions are harder to find.

It’s as if the platform’s algorithm is caught in a spam loop, prioritizing engagement over quality. Whether it’s a sign of deeper issues within Facebook’s moderation system or a new tactic by spammers, one thing’s clear: the feed is getting weirder, and not in a good way.
