Facebook AKA Fakebook… the Frankenstein’s monster of social media. started out as a chill college hangout, right? Like, "let’s see what that guy from econ class is doing" or throw some pokes around like they were currency (remember when poking someone wasn’t weird??). then it mutated... now it’s this sprawling, messy, bloated thing that everyone’s kinda stuck with, like a group chat you can’t leave 'cause Aunt Susan keeps posting minion memes and you’d feel guilty. 🫠
but Facebook... it’s basically a digital scrapbook where people overshare. you’re like, “oh cool, Karen’s making casserole again for the 3rd time this week” or “wow, Steve is suddenly a conspiracy theorist who thinks birds are government drones.”
and don’t even get me started on the ads... they’re so creepily targeted it’s like Zuckerberg's been reading your thoughts before you even Google something. you think about hiking boots for 0.2 seconds and suddenly it’s Adidas-Terrain-Max-Pro all over your feed. coincidence? 🤔 i think not...
and let’s not forget the data privacy dumpster fire they’ve been in, but who’s counting? they’re out here playing real-life Pokémon with your personal info while selling it to anyone with a few bucks. they say they’re fixing it, but man, at this point it’s like putting a band-aid on a shipwreck.
Facebook groups though? that’s like their last lifeline. you can find communities for literally anything. want to learn underwater basket weaving while debating philosophy with flat-earthers? there’s a group for that.
all in all, Facebook’s like that old mall...
you don’t really wanna go,
it’s full of weird stuff,
but somehow,
you keep finding yourself there,
browsing around out of habit.
