Facebook's "on this day" feature starts its blurb with "We care about you", and that just makes me uncomfortable.

  Oh and their memories and friendiversary posts? I hate how easy those videos are for them to make, the entire feature is creepy. Facebook friendiversaries are stupid and should not add anything to anything's life, yet so many of my buds LOOOOOVE to share and celebrate.

  It's the same way every farmer cares for their cattle.
  • tpeo 9y ago
    Not quite so. Farmers don't have to reassure their cows that they care about them. Plus they do care, even if for completely selfish reasons.
    • inopinatus 9y ago
      Sure, you have to keep the herd together. Farmers do that other ways, but the outcome is the same. Facebook does care, and for the same selfish reasons: they're an eyeball farmer.

    Because a grown cow sells for around $1000.

      Whereas you are only worth around $250 or less to Facebook! [1]. [1] Dividing their market capitalization, as an estimate of their discounted future cash flows, by their number of users. A better estimate might be smaller, if their user base is expected to grow or they are expected to make lots of money in some other business
