Just for background, I have never posted anything Nazi-related (nor anti-Semitic nor white supremacist or anything in that realm), not even regarding military history. In fact, I barely post at all. Can anybody clue me in as to the algorithm here? Have others seen this?
I have liked a post before that criticized Trump, and FB suggested that I might be interested in the "Trump for President" page. So, their algorithm isn't the best.
Also, be ware of "like this to help me" scams. Sometimes you will see things like a girl holding a sign saying things like "My Dad said he would quit smoking if I get a million likes, help me" or stuff like that. A lot of the times those a BS posts made to manipulate people into liking them. Once they get a bunch of likes, they sell the page that made that post to someone else. It used to be a girl asking for help page, and now it's a Nazi memorabilia page.
Perhaps I should have mentioned that among my de facto boycotting of Facebook productization of people is that I don't do "likes" either. I'll post an occasional article (typically science), comment here and there, and that's it.
I once had a chat with a philosopher friend about Freud and Marx and my suggested pages were full of communist groups and psychoanalysis the day after.

There are quite a few ways to game FB.
