Facebook is basically "satire" at this point, and by that I mean "full of bullshit". Smoking is probably better for your health than Facebook is.


I personally view Facebook as an advertisement platform equally for both corporations and individuals. Corporations selling their stuff as usual, and individuals selling themselves.

So what I do is unfollow all my friends by default, and I use FB only to discover interesting events, and for basic messaging with friends.


I gave up and firewalled "facebook.com" years ago.
