It became trashy when they stopped requiring .edu emails to sign up.

ETA: old people who blindly share bullshite, white trash who fight about child support, culcha, etc

The more you open things up to the majority of the population, the trashier things become because most of humans are trashy. Facebook started more as a social platform for elite universities. Then it opened up to most college kids, then to most young adults, then to your 30s-40s crowd as MySpace faded, then to all ages. The more that filter opened up the trashier it got.

Take LSU football for example. Most things associated with ‘fans’ are trashy as f*** since LSU won a natty in ‘03. It generated a ton more interested and fanhood from those uneducated, non-graduates, local Louisiana folk who are stereotypically trashy.

It’s your friends and family that are the problem.
My Facebook feed doesn’t have those issues for some reason

maybe

but most of my friends are still active as well and they all fit into that category

FB is simply what you make it

if people can't function on FB, it says a lot about them

Because it's "free" as opposed to free.

Because now everyone thinks they have a platform which to place all of their business out for everyone to read and believe that others are interested in their bitchfest rants constantly.

Remember when you used to have to have a college email to be in the exclusive Facebook club? They should've kept it that way.

Well, considering it's mostly made up of friends and people you know, this says a lot about the company you keep.
