i mean if you say you can't live without facebook...go ahead and use facebook lol
and i'm not saying "why do they keep using it," i KNOW why people use it. it's just that none of those reasons come close to justifying constantly feeding the technofascist greed machine with a steady steam of personal information--not just your own, but your kids' too apparently--in order for them to a) sell to corporations; b) sell to political propaganda outfits; c) hand over to the christofascist police state government on command, d) get hacked by who tf knows who; and now e) train their AI (while compensating you $0.00 for your contribution)
congratulations, you've been gaslighted into genuinely believing you will just absolutely die without facebook. do you hear yourself? "i use facebook because neighborhood group"? bro. anyone who's requiring you to join facebook....well, that relationship is a choice also.
but again, you do you
edit: this is what makes me laugh every time i see a post pointing out how shitty facebook is--it's guaranteed that there will be a thread about "but iiiiii neeeeeeeeeeed itttt!!" LOL
That's a lot of words to willfully miss my point and respond to shit I definitively didn't say.
I don't use it and I don't need it, but pretending that people only use it because they're stupid is stupid. Doubling down with blatant lack of reading comprehension is even dumber.
lol
you literally started it with
which i definitively didn't say
and then you did it again just now
i thought that was just your love language and wanted to play along
you can criticize me and call me stupid all you want, but at the end of the day my main point is undisputed: facebook is 100% optional in life, but people choose it for reasons that don't justify the costs. it matters not one whit how much a sack of shit zuckerburg is
