      I have watched more than one friend flush his family/savings down the shitter on these apps.

      I don’t get gambling, worst I ever did was a few trips to Vegas and betting on the ponies that bot count on one hand.

    And he can’t be voted out. Zuck literally made himself king of his own little virtual empire.

      I self exiled myself from his empire 12+ years ago. His crown means nothing to me.

      He can’t keep that sinking ship afloat w/ bots alone. So if people keeping walking way it all ends.

        Boomers, Gen x, and older millennials are a massive clientele. You absolutely cannot convince them to abandon Facebook.

          Not my experience w/ my circle as we are all GenX. We use other ways to keep in touch.

    This guy raises cows and has fun figuring out ways to feed the cow to make the meat more richer.

    I’d bet $20 that’s how he sees us. Just feeding us addictive apps to make us yummier for advertisers. No concern for our wellbeing.
