Originally - a great way to find out which girls were single and get laid.

When they opened it up to the Boomers it was forever ruined.

90% of the active people on my Facebook feed are boomers posting shitty memes. It's definitely regressed society.

I think facebook hasn't advanced or regressed society at all. It has only highlighted our ignorance and narcissism that was there all along. What used to hide only within your parent's AOL email account is now in full view of all your friends and family.

Propaganda and misinformation being shared faster and with more people than ever before doesn't make much of a difference.

I'm sorry, but Kelly in bum frick Virginia would never find out about Karen almost being trafficked at a Slidell Wal-Mart without Facebook.

Like many advancements in tech, it has some amazing qualities that are outshined by assisting in the diminishing of human social interaction, which we crave as social animals. Facebook is like a cheap facsimile of real human interaction, thus it is fertile ground for people to become cheap facsimiles of themselves, where tact and shame go by the wayside in favor of booms and moments.

It could be awesome but it has been buttfricked into the perverted mess we see today.

Other than that I have no opinion on facebook

This is not a bad take at all.

Just looked at my newsfeed and it’s 95% work groups and yard sale sites. Feels good man. Going to go find some more people to unfollow now.

The greatest. Eharmony or any singles website got nothing on FB circa 2006-2009.

I don't know, I liked life better when I didn't know my best friend's mom was a huge bigot.

Social media is a huge net negative. I mean seriously, what good has come from it? I can’t think of anything except for a small number of isolated positives that have happened to individuals, which is few and far between.

The vast majority of it (particularly Twitter) is negative.

Right? It exposes us to truths we were better off being ignorant of.

I blame it all on Jim Rome. He told people to have a take and don’t suck.

FB has fostered immature and narcissistic behavior in everyone who uses it.
