It’s probably more nuanced than this. Would I have let my kids use Facebook in the height of its popularity. Absolutely. It was fun, engaging and user driven.

Now it’s just an absolute cesspit of paid content, ads and boomers posting in groups.

I don’t even think it’s appropriate to call it social media anymore. It’s barely social.

Not a single friend of mine posts anything on there.

I am only on FB for a group I admin that is useful and helps people. its more like forum hosting for me.

Almost all my friends have stopped posted. The only social thing I see from most people is wishing people happy birthday.
