Ya know, I don't see all this conspiracy, end-of-world, look-what-really-stupid-thing-I-can-do.
Let's see, my two daughters, two nephews, my wife, and a cousin. Nope, all my friends seem to pretty well have it together.
I do have to ask... How does someone keep up with 4,000 friends? Wouldn't you get some confused with others? I mean, take for instance one friend just had a colonoscopy and another a nose job...and you comment to the one with the colonoscopy..."I bet you smell a lot better now!". Eh? Or, one gets locked up for armed robbery and the other is getting ready for a camping trip and you get them confused...."enjoy your camping trip!". I mean, it's just crazy the number of "friends" that some Facebook people have.
There are some people that I think figure out who I am on FB (I changed my name to protect the innocent) so I get a new friend request all along. I respond by thinking "oh, a friend request"...and move on.
Having stated that mumbo-jumbo, I will say that anyone interested and who has Netflix available might want to watch "The Social Dilemma". Or, is this just more conspiracy theory propagated by "powers that be"?
