How I fell out of love with Facebook(2004-2024)
A detailed three hour video essay by Tantacrul on the rise, and soon after numerous privacy and foreign influence scandals, within one of the largest tech companies in the world, and how a website where you could talk with old classmates brought about everything from a vast decline in mental health to ethnic cleansing.
They arbitrarily decided which of my friends’ updates to show me, then started showing me more ads and “promoted content” (read: culture war incitement) than what’s going on with my friends. Lame.
I immediately opt out of any platform that aggressively tries to decide what content I consume.
Yeah I just wanna see pictures of my friends’ pets, kids and art. Not posts trying to bait me in to arguing about whether or not She-Hulk should be twerking (She should btw) or if rice is woke. 🙄
