Member-only story
Fuck Facebook
Delete this, motherfucker!
I hate Facebook. I’ve always hated Facebook. So why would I ever become a member in the first place? Easy answer: Because an SEO specialist told me I should create a page and link it to my Blogger site. It would help the latter move to page one on Google.
Once I deleted that blog and my Facebook account with it, I later joined Medium. Once again, I needed a Facebook account if I wanted to engage with some groups dedicated to new Medium writers.
So what happened? Today, my Facebook account was suspended. And I don’t even know why! All I did was post an article a day on those group pages! WTF?
Back to why I hate Facebook. Mark Zucker freely admits that he set up the site to invade people’s privacy. He laughed that other Harvard students could be suckered into revealing too much information about themselves in the interest of networking with other classmates. Why would I want to let the world know all kinds of personal shit about myself?
So when I joined at the advice from that SEO guy, I did not use my real name. Problem solved, right? Get this! One day 30 people befriended me. I was impressed. Midway through friending them back, I realized the woman I’d just friended was 15 years old!
