I recently download the Facebook app to sell something in the marketplace. It has become so bloated and un-user friendly, I question why anyone would use it on a daily basis. The new feeds is a bunch of irrelevant posts I don’t care about. I guess it was bound to happen when you hire thousands of workers to work on one app. It’s been optimized into a deformed monster.
- robswc 4y agoExactly. I never really got it until I grew up and ditched the social media apps but when people say "its just nonsense" it truly is just nonsense. It's "news" for the sake of news. Do I need to know there was a robbery in some town a few states over? Do I need to know Selena Gomez celebrated her birthday in a pink brand dress? Do I need to know Trump recently returned to DC for the first time in a year? (taken from just seeing front page of news site) No, no and no. It's all nonsense. Yet to some degree, I will have to use energy to process and engage with it. If it "annoys me" I may comment, which wastes even more energy. (and yes, I do get the irony of complaining about this, lol) I'm not saying all news is bad or to turn it all off... just that one has to realize so much of it is news for the sake of news and the world will still turn without your investment in it.
- nowherebeen 4y agoYou hit the nail on the head. News for news sake; drama for drama sake. At some point we need to realize this and give up on it. It does nothing to help us in life other than give us misery. There are enough problems in life to handle. I don’t need to know about the drama of another stranger.
