even "websites" have moved to facebook
Which makes no sense and is very not fun
facebook is like the exclusive in-group at the moment
Facebook is like the ridiculous social network super-power big brother at the moment
"exclusive"
I don't get why you can't access facebook stuffs without being a member
was reading an article on people talking about that "the social platform for everyone" is doomed to fail
because they won't be able to make money from you or your data if you don't have an account
like geocities and myspace before
They make plenty of money on non-members
@angeryer plot twist everyone got a facebook account, even if they never registered
That's bacially what happens
Shadow profiles galore
brb commit neck rope
you'd think shadow profiles should removed with GDPR
They've got fun connections
But shadow profiles aren’t people! (And totally don’t exist guys we promise)
I hate facebook with a passion
They've done nothing for me, and have only done things to my and other's detriment
unlike other companies like Google, they don't really offer anything unique and useful to everyone
Alright was their hieght
I mean.. the best way to use it, was to use it very sparingly.
And that's just not what they were after.
They wanted to plug into people daily.
They can really only make money from people's data now. The problem with most of these services is that they become very costly over time
so companies tend to go to more dubius monetization stategies
Facebook is awful. I hate that without it you’re disconnected from an entire section of people. Not having access to the marketplaces especially is awful if you’re looking for specific stuff since all the niche forums have died and migrated there.
What I really resent
Is something that Vee shed a light on.
Some employers will look at resumes and then google the names of the applicants
Havent used facebook in almost 2 years and Im still waiting to hear what immissing
And then they look up your facebook
Of course they will
And if you have no facebook, or if your facebook is private, you're out of the running IMMEDIATELY
I've never had that issue
That's a convenience that is a DETRIMENT to the people who opt out of it.
A detriment that is worse to you than before it was INVENTED.
So it fucking sucks that way.
Facebook even at its beginning was shady. Never forget the Zuck quote of “they trust me with this info. stupid fucks.”
and I suspect that will die quickly in the instances it does happen due to people bailing on FB
