I want to leave Facebook, I don’t like how it organises my data, I don’t like how it keeps me from the interesting things my friends are posting, I don’t like how it monetises my content and I’m under no illusion that things will change for the better. I see little value in using the service but I know that there is no other single service that has all my contacts in one place. Where was the content going? This amazing video explains where, it is such an awesome watch.
At first I thought my friends weren’t posting enough, then I realised that wasn’t the case once I went directly to their pages. I found a workaround for a few months, but that doesn’t seem to be working anymore. Once Facebook changed it’s News Feed sorting system, I felt like I was being bombarded with the same five stories over and over again, never seeing anything new. Gone are the days when I could spend my time on Facebook simply interacting with friends and companies I wanted to, I feel like I barely see any relevant content. I don’t remember where I heard it, but the saying, “ if you can’t see the product then you are the product” rings really true with Facebook as it is now.
Why should they be? We’ve all assumed that this has been happening for years, it’s been leaked by Snowden and now Facebook is just all out admitting to selling their users.
Earlier today I shared this linkwith some friends on Google Hangouts and no-one was even a little bit surprised.
