Why You Should Abandon Fakebook

My wife rightly brags that she has not been on Fakebook in weeks. And she’s right to brag about it. FB (the stock symbol for their company, now known as “Meta”, complete with – God help us – employees known as “Metamates”) has become a trolling ground for every boomer on the planet, and it shows. Annoying, kitschy, and irrelevant, most of the information there is not useful, and, frankly, not even that interesting.And a waste of your time. For the most part, anyway. I still participate in a couple of interest groups, one more active than the rest, but what most people do, the banter there, is something I have abandoned. Facebook is a brilliant idea that works mildly addictively to get you and plenty of others to virtually hang out and while there, you and those others provide eyes for the advertisers pushing their wares on the site. Disengage. And if you have a special interest group that you don’t want to give up on, that’s okay. Just give up the quotidian stuff of FB, and live your life. You’ll gain time but more important, you’ll re-establish a mental focus. Get your life back from the clutches of the Zuckerberg cartel.
