    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.
