    I don’t use them, but from what I’ve heard, aren’t Facebook and Instagram more like “We’ll get to everyone you know in a bit, but first, here’s an influencer. Now here’s an ad. Here’s someone you don’t know but is famous. Here’s a viral post by someone else you don’t know. Here’s another ad…”

      It’s intolerable, I don’t know why anyone is okay with getting posts from the algorithm shoved in their feed.

      On the bright side, that shit made breaking the “check out what’s happened on fb since I last checked” habit easier, especially as someone who was already a Fark/reddit user and regularly click the comments. It’s no wonder Ken M did so well, even his character was smarter than average on there.

      My investment platform probably sold my data to Instagram. I don’t know about others, but I am seeing posts on my feed glazing over the billionaires.

      Like, I don’t want to be a billionaire, I just want enough f.u. money to have a comfortable life!
