The pivot of Facebook from "here's a way to connect with family and friends" to "here's a steady drip of 'engaging' content made to generate 'likes'" is very interesting.
- mminer237 6y agoPlenty of people still use it primarily to connect with friends and family though. Just there's news and memes too
- asdff 6y agoDon't forget the sprinkles of propaganda
