I don’t get the hate for FB. It’s exactly what you make it. If you don’t like the posts people make and the cesspool it’s become, well, you followed those people.I was one of the last in my circle to join. Had no interest, but living in Venice Beach/LA in my 20s that’s how people communicated, so I joined to get updates on our happy hour groups and so on. Had zero desire to post and read posts.But now I actually enjoy that. I’m 20 years out from high school, 15 years from college, and in another state now, it’s harder to keep up with people I was friends with 10 years ago. It’s fun to see who just had a kid, married (or remarried at this point). Before I was still in town, only a few years out from HS or college and was easy to keep up and even bump into people on occasion. Now that never happens.
But I only have about 200 friends on FB. Some have 5,000 or more. I’m convinced those people wouldn’t even recognize their “friends” if they ran into them on the street. I don’t follow people that annoy me. One exception being this lady who posted every day encouraging the looting and riots in the summer and promoting violence against the police, and said destroying businesses and rioting is the only way to get your voice heard and get change. Knowing she was a small business owner herself I eventually got tired and replied just saying she should offer up the address of her business for support. She unfriended me.Point being, Facebook is only as bad as you let it be.0 -

I go on Facebook a handful of times a year, & it’s the same shit over & over so I don’t bother with it much. I only keep the account open for the messenger which I use to stay in touch w/ family overseas.I did find it odd the one time that I clicked on my Facebook tv feed and there were several Charlie Kirk videos queued up. I don’t have much political stuff if any on my wall or in my likes... & I’ve never clicked on right wing videos or articles that would suggest I’m into that sort of content, so I was genuinely curious as to why those videos were being suggested for me. If anything it should have suggested concert videos as all I ever used to post about was music.0

Do you avoid shopping on Amazon or just doing a Google search?And yes, I search Amazon and Google with add trackers blocked and a VPN active in order to prevent that type of targeted tracking...everyone should.0

They're even hooked into the microphone. I've had every app shut down while having a person-to-person conversation, and as soon as I got back online, the ads were relevant to the offline conversation I was having.
I struggle with the privacy thing. I wonder what happens when this power ends up in the wrong hands. It seems relatively harmless as it is, but it's not guaranteed to stay that way. Remember the technology in 1984 is the TV that looks inside everyone's homes to track compliance.
I have not seen Social Dilemma but the novel, The Circle by Dave Eggers, really made me think hard about the topic.

I have not seen Social Dilemma but the novel, The Circle by Dave Eggers, really made me think hard about the topic.Every 4-6 weeks I either login from my work pc, or get the app on my phone, but once I’m done I log out / delete the app.Even if I did, there’s nothing in my habits to suggest Facebook should think I’m interested in Charlie Kirk’s content. Maybe they were simply featuring the most popular videos of the day, idk, but it seemed odd.0 -

It's generally a combo of Dan Bongino, Kirk, Shapiro, Mark Levin.
