I have to say that this is almost completely the opposite of what I want from Facebook, given that "cringe memes and clickbait" is an orthogonal issue. To me, great value lies in the opportunity for people to organize into smaller communities and post various things about those communities, be they political or not, and at the same time being able to receive feedback (in the form of comments). Unfortunately, the sad truth is that this is the only platform for such an activity for most of those communities.

I'd say those two are compatible. For me what matters is getting updates from friends, family, and groups I care about. If my feed was limited to that, the new articles would instantly be less clickbaitey or cringey.
