Facebook is the devil. I watched a video not too long ago that was an interview with one of the original creators. He was quoted in stating that they knew what they were doing was wrong. They played off of basic human instinct of dopamine boosts in order to generate revenue. Everyone has a basic need to feel wanted/needed and facebook fills this void. Unfortunately social media in general has created this mentality that it is socially acceptable to walk around taking pictures of yourself, your food and everything else that no one gives a shit about so it can be posted and liked by your fake friends, all for a slight dopamine boost all to feel accepted, wanted and appreciated.
Honestly Facebook isn't the problem, people are the problem. Facebook is simply a platform and as Daniel Tosh stated a megaphone for idiots. I still have my Instagram account but I shut down Facebook last year and honestly it's amazing at how much simpler my life has become; less distractions, etc. I still have my Facebook messenger account but I hate to use it as it seems like a hive of social media vampires waiting to attack as soon as they see you are active. I have a friend that sends me funny videos via messenger but every damn time I watch one, I instantly get a bunch of messages from people who have nothing better to do with their lives.
Facebook is great is you are a: cheater, a stalker, a predator, a thief, a dumb ass, creator of bullshit news stories/click-bait or a small business whose only goal is to annoy you by trying to use social media as advertising. I really hate this generation and the technology that fuels all the sheep.
