Why not?
- Joel_Mckay 1y agoFacebook creates shadow profiles for nonparticipating users, where the advertising API is pervasive on the web and android apps. See Privacy Badger for details... =3
- the_snooze 1y agoSome organizations use social media as their primary (if not their only) means of communicating with members. My gym, for example, uses Facebook to post day-to-day announcements.
- ryandrake 1y agoThat doesn't mean it's not possible to opt-out. It just means you need to give up something to do it. I'm not on Social Media (unless you consider HN to be), so it is possible.
- grg0 1y agoWhat could be so important from a gym to warrant day-to-day announcements anyway? I go to the gym regularly...
- the_snooze 1y agoThis is a class-centric gym, so announcements are about changes in schedule and programming, especially if there's inclement weather.
- loloquwowndueo 1y agoJust show up and do whatever they’re doing? No need to know in advance.
- BigGreenJorts 1y ago"Just waste your time traveling to the gym when you could have known in advance that the class was cancelled and made other plans instead."
