In reality, FB and other social media sites are merely a means of 
delivering eyeballs, ears, habits and personal preferences ( including 
buying habits, political leanings etc) to eager advertisers, and to 
anyone else who wants to stick a nose where it doesn't belong. The 
content is not the product, the users are! That's what FB sells to 
advertisers. Switch to social media, and I have better ways to waste my 
time - browsing the Oldtools archive f'rinstance!
