As people on this page have said, those who dislike/criticize FB fail to consider/imagine all the ways it's being used. For example - I use FB for chatting with my friends around the world, i.e. most of my closest friends. I don't look at the news feed. Never see ads on FB. I chat with the people I want to, look at their recent pics when I want to, usually while chatting with them, so I can ask questions. The last few years, I don't share/post pics on FB, I just send in the chat to people when I want to. So your criticism doesn't hit me, indeed my use of FB sounds like your solution. And yet people assume FB can't be used like that, for some reason. p.s. Hacker News is infinitely more addictive..I'm not sure why! Maybe because muh internet points.
