How to cancel facebook notifications?

Sicard

I don't know what I clicked but I'm getting swamped with fb notifications from 'Best Videos' eventhough I've blocked them. They're the comments from subscribers which come to my inbox then I have to tick each one to send into 'spam', but they still keep on coming.

It's Yahoo (I know, don't tell me, but I've had it for yonks) and the filter will only work for email addresses not this type of irritation.

TIA

Log into Facebook. Go into the settings and change your notification settings.

These are something I've always been baffled by. I use FB very little but I do get the occasional 'Notification' which normally just says something like 'Biggles, do you know Fred Smith?' or similar.

Sometimes I do know the person, sometimes not, but I have no idea why I get these, so I ignore them.

The FB business model is based around people having as many "friends" as possible. Facebook wants people to like, share, comment on, etc. sponsored posts or such advertising. When a friend does that, the sponsored post often appears in the timelines of other friends (eg. today I've been informed that my uncle likes Colgate). For the purposes of FB ads that will count as an impression so when the advertising manager takes a look in the control panel, they'll see a larger reach for the advert.

If you don't have many friends on FB, or you go long periods between adding friends, FB decides to try and help out. It might be that some of the people recommended to you are friends of friends, friends of friends of friends, you may have inadvertently clicked on their profile previously or there's some theories that maybe they may have clicked on yours.

You must be swamped with orders mate. Thanks for the up. I never thought of that but there again why do we have a forum for helping on tech matters. It's defunct I suppose:

Its often much faster to first help yourself a little and actually see if you can find the answer with a search engine.
If that produces no results , or you dont understand the results, then a forum is a place to ask a little more educated question


Your post is just lazy as this question can be answered fully by a quick google search with many many results, like i highlighted.
