I will never understand why people insist on using Facebook. What is the appeal? If you’re worth talking to, I will give you my phone number and we can text. For longer messages, I will send you an email. I can keep track of my contacts inside the Address book of my phone. What need exactly is Facebook filling?

For me Facebook fills the need of a centralized place to communicate with my close friends via Messenger, a place to keep track of niche interests via groups, and a place to get invites to events by friends that I don't see or talk to as often. I also use it to keep track of a few news sources.

I get it that some people don't want to use Facebook, but you really can't understand why other people make a different decision?

Oh i get it. My wife loves Facebook. It gives her a perfect easy way to communicate with the people she wants to communicate with.

I don't hate Facebook. I just don't have any reason to use it.

I do hate ads though and i will keep trying to stop them.
