Facebook and their ghost profiles have entered the chat

Social media companies have worked so hard to become walled gardens and have vastly succeeded. Someone naive is like “hey check out this meme” and it’s a facebook, or instagram, or toktik, or twixxxer link that requires a profile before you can can see the content so they can start to demographically align you toward the bulk data they want to advertise toward.

I deleted pretty much all social media years ago, but I stuck it out with Reddit until they fucked over third party app devs. It’s wild to this day how much of my family is surprised that I don’t have a Facebook account
