This will get downvoted but whatever. I predicted all of this a decade ago and I refused to be part of it. All my friends laughed at me and said I was crazy.

Maybe I am but I don't do all that social media shit because if you don't know where they are making money, they are making it off of you.

And that's creepy. I'm willing to pay for value, but I'm not on board with them making money by looking over my shoulder. It's not about me doing something illegal, I don't do that, I'm fine, it's just creepy.

That social media stuff is like dopamine, feels good, but is not good for you.



It's funny seeing the New York Times and others rail against Facebook like this and yet they still don't have the conviction to #deletefacebook. Many of the excuses read like those of drug addicts.
