  1. Facebook was fine when it was what it was. A facebook... for college students. Then they got to actually trying to make it profitable. Even opening it up to the general public was still okay. Because it was a convenient way to contact people and keep a basic tab on how people were doing. But algorithms kept getting stronger. And even a long time ago now they stopped even letting you do basic stuff like say your favorites unless those favorites key-worded into something they could collate and sell. I have mine but have been passive on it for years, and it basically became insufferable since May, and definitely June. As for twitter. It's a dumpster fire. It's most useful for two things, at least one of which doesn't require an account. That is to search for information that is important to you but not newsworthy. It's hard to think of examples... but basically if you think, oh, I'll look that up, and then think... there's no way google would know that already or care. Well, twitter might. Second, it's actually good for communication in Asia where the character limitation meant you could actually say things besides flame and troll. Bands or whatever could list all the pertinent gig info in the character limit.

  2. Facebook is the worst. Not because it's the worst. But because TDS confirmed. Lots of people have got it bad. I don't know if they always had it and it just wasn't noticeable, or if it's because of the propaganda wall of the last 8 months or so in particular. But these are real people I know not just nameless twitter bots. They're rational, intelligent, oftentimes well-meaning. And now they post totally moronic bullshit.
