You know, as far back as 2016 I remember having conversations with people about how shitty Facebook had gotten. But DAMN! It went full retard tonight. I mean at this point I don't even look at posts from people I know anymore, I just look at how much garbage Zuck has stuffed into my feed and then delete twice that much from my history. But tonight...I had, like, 20 consecutive ads. Then I needed to pop back in and send someone an IM (Long ago I deleted Messenger from my phone) and wound up deleting another 30 "likes."
At this point I'm back to 2017. But the going is considerably slower back then, because there is so much more activity. I spend very little time on Facebook today. And I react to very little stuff. Because of all the garbage. But in 2017 I could react to dozens and dozens of posts by friends in a single day? Did Facebook change? Yes. Did my friends change? Maybe. Maybe I like less stuff because, in addition to all the "HEY1! HEY!! CHECK OUT THIS GROUP!!!! YOU SHOULD TOTALLY BE FREINDS WITH IT!!!!11" garbage, increasingly, my "friends" repost the garbage Facebook is feeding them. Facebook is the Millenium serpent, eating itself, only it is productively eating itself and will soon disappear up its own asshole. :bergman:
