I saw sometimes ads that was claiming that one of my friends like that product too. My bet is on that.
BTW: I started using user script to remove recommendations, suggestions and other crap like that. It makes Facebook so much more bearable but interestingly also feels less addictive.
What is User Script please? I have to use Facebook, and all the crap is frying what's left of my brain.

After installing it, you will see a floating icon on bottom left, where you can configure it to filter more (I think by my or only blocks clear ads, some people might like the suggestions, but imo they are there to keep you engaged, so I would block them too).
Awesome, thank you :)
