Facebook is a tool for grandparents to see pictures of their grandkids since no one calls them anymore, why does this surprise anyone? Every time I see a nerd in SF walking around in a facebook hoodie I want to take them aside and ask, "do you know what you spend your life working on is garbage? Did you drink the cool-aid or are you just in it for the paycheck?"

Is it the same for the janitor who sweeps the floors? You can't run a modern Facebook without basic sanitation, and on the back of these salaries people intend to raise children. Likewise, would you say the same thing to an accountant working in receivables?

"Do you find deep meaning in your work for random business? Why don't you do something truly meaningful with your life?"

I can tell in less than 5 words what Instagram or Whatsapp are for.

But today's Facebook? I could sarcastically say that they do lots of things but not a single one correctly.

In my early 30s I find the only useful thing about it is local gardening/foraging communities I participate in. Outside of that, there's nothing but fluff.
