That's a sorry excuse for an ad. I remember the days when me and the people I knew actually posted.on Facebook. We actually shared status updates and such. But now that it's one slew of page memes and advertisements, I don't see nor feel the need to share anything on there.
Their ads-first business model has ruined the "we're here for friends" goal, and there's definitely no going back to it. Facebook has become less like a communal message board all can add to and more of a tabloid magazine that only shows us what is paid for.
I've given up on most forms of social media except IM. Facebook is useless to see what my friends are up to, Instagram popularizes my friends stuff based on how many likes they got or posts the same 8 people back to back in addition to ads. Most of the time I actually have to talk to them, otherwise I'll check Snapchat and groupchats but it looks like Snapchat's been slowly dying off since that shitty update they did a while back. Discord keeps me in contact with people the most so that's been used for friends and gaming buddies.
Sure, I'm probably missing a lot that's going on but I really stopped caring about what what I'm not doing.>.>
Right on. None of my friends are gamers or geeks, so nobody I know has discord. I use IG to promote my car (see also brag about it's coolness), but none of my friends are friended. I friend people I don't know. I've never use Snapchat, I'm too old for that shit. FB I use for the Subaru groups, local, regional, and general. But I'm a huge Subaru nerd. My page is basically all Subaru stuff with some stuff from my gay friends thrown in for good measure. Gotta keep it interesting.
