Meta, or shall I say Zuckerbergs business practices are enough to never come back. But truthfully, Facebook has been the epitome of a trauma bond. We stayed because so many memories were stored there. We could have fun, stay connected with friends & family. Laugh or Cry at our memories over the years. It truly has been our lives scrapbook. But then, it slowly changed. We didn’t really even notice it at first other than the layout. And then the greed took over. We have been staying connected with ads for the last 5/6 years. Not our friends or family. But yet we are brainwashed into thinking “we can’t get rid of Facebook, how will I see what my people are up to?” All the memories of college, marriage, children, careers, cars, homes, livelihoods, etc. are all posted on this app that we have loved for years. But in reality, we haven’t been staying connected via FB the last few years. All we see are ads, groups taken over by more corporations. My local “neighborhood” page, a “moms” group, both had been functioning just fine for 8+ years. In the last year, the mods sold the group to a social media network company. Now if local companies want to post or offer services they have to PAY the network company a monthly subscription fee. Facebook is no longer for the community, for friends or family, for connecting or networking. It is for business and consumers looking to solely profit. And those of us who stayed out of naïveté are subjected to misinformation, data leaks, hacks, rude users, and just so much more. Unfortunately true, original TikTok in its state and current Singaporean ownership that we all know and love will always be far superior in every way compared to Facebook. And due to the greed that became from Facebook to the greed, ignorance and incompetence of Mark Zuckerberg— I will never be fooled again by his applications.
