    Which defeats the whole point but at this point Facebook is just hanging on if it’s existing user base sucking what little value there is left out of it before it collapses from totally irrelevancy

      Which defeats the whole point

      The modern model for Facebook is as digital flypaper. Trapping users in their ecosystem on the assumption the social network and the poor tech skills, plus the highly addictive algorithm, will keep them mired in psychological quicksand until all their vital essences are harvested.

      As disgusting as the site is, I still find myself peaking back in to reach out to an old friend or family member, because that’s literally the only way I have to communicate. Incredibly frustrating.
