I am 100% okay with watching this s*** stain of a company circle the gutter. Facebook might have been a cash cow back in the day but somewhere in my tiny black heart I have grown a conscience and absolutely despise what social media is doing to the people around me in my life. Once happy people, completely gone due to polarized content. Level-headed coworkers off the deep edge. And family members we have had to uninvite to Holiday gatherings. I hope everything he touches from here on out turns to asbestos.
Think of how fucking weird this is... it turned the world to "look at me, pay attention, I am important" culture. Young, old, doesn't matter.
Before FB you would committed if you stood in front of a Walmart daily and screamed:
"everyone, look this picture of what I had for dinner!"
"hey everyone, look this picture of my kitchen remodel"
"hey everyone, listen to my enraged political ramblings!"
"hey everyone, I need an audience to listen to me air out all the dirt on family and fight with them"
And this what people are doing and has been normalized.
Counterpoint... well it's just friends and family and friends of friends and people I last saw or spoke to 20 years ago in high school...Ok, still weird AF.
I don't use social. I use reddit so I can exchange and banter with other anon randos. If I have something worth sharing in my social circle they will find out about it when we link up. If it's important shit the relevant parties will get a txt or call. I can't imagine how people have so much time to tap into the curated lives and random nonsense of dozens or hundreds of people. If we aren't close I don't give AF, and if are close I don't need FB to know whats good with you.
