It really is absurd. I don't get why the focus is all on FB. I honestly only keep FB around because my family is on it, and sometimes I use FB messenger with my friends. It has zero impact on my life.

On the other hand, a single glance into twitter can lead to 2-3 hours of a sustained state of mild rage, and you just feel bad when you finally exit the app.

The focus is on FB because they are the ones taking ad revenue away from news publishers and traditional media. That gives the media more incentive to publish negative articles about them.

When in doubt, follow the money.

This is poisoning the well because there are legitimate reasons being reported to dislike FB's smarmy practices; it's not all sour grapes from media.

Definitely. It's really one of the few sites I block using my hosts file when I get a new computer.

Same here. I really feel like I should curate a twitter profile but it is just bad for my mental health.

To me, it feels like a small library of really cool books but the library happens to be housed randomly inside of a giant lunatic asylum.
