      I’m not talking about people connecting to me, I’m talking about people facebook thought I should see through notifications.

      Talked to a couple of them and it’s like “Hey, is there any reason on earth why I should know you?” and they’re like “No…”

      Because of course not. Facebook just wants to drive engagement and thinks showing me a carousel of pretty girls will do it.
