When FB was a simple aggregator for life, it was handy.
People also seemed more genuine back then.
Maybe it was the novelty factor. :hs:

Now, I resent the amount of effort involved to keep my newsfeed free of crap.
It's all "X listened to Herpaderp on Spotify" and "Y checked in at a bar fifteen miles away."

Where is the value?
What insight can be made or gained?
How is any of it, in any way, truly human?

In a few short years, FB has fully conditioned our behavior.
From dawn to dusk, we filter our lives for online consumption.
To project the life we want --rather than the one we're in -- we all become our own PR agents.

To what end, I ask?

It is narcissism, starring as the opiate of the masses.
An immaculate online persona is the ideal.
It's an eminence front, right along with FB itself. :a:
