I did the same about 12 ish years ago as it was already becoming a misinformation machine.
Once again like others said, drop Facebook! Lots of fake profiles, scam ads and miss information.
Only reason I have Facebook is Facebook marketplace. Would love for some to create a alternative. Craigslist and OfferUp are nice, but the Facebook algorithm is more like local ebay. It might not tell me the most recent stuff or make it easy to sort by category, but it’s awesome at giving me recommendations.
Didn’t have to look far for that heart of gold, seems he already had it.
I almost didn’t get your joke there, good one.
Also, if you’re into low/no budget films, Hooker With a Heart of Gold is a great one, but it’s like 15-20 years old and it shows.
This looks like the exact garbage I love, I’ll definitely have to watch it.
If you enjoy that, Brad Jones has a few other really good ones to check out. Midnight Heat is an amazing dirty cop flick, and Jesus Bro! is a great sendup of shit like pureflix trash.
Honestly, good on him.
More people should do the same.
He took a principled stance when he left Spotify too, after they paid hundreds of millions for Joe Rogan’s podcast.
Edit: Disappointingly, it turns out he went back to Spotify after a couple of years.
ted nugent decided to use facebook even more for the same reason
Well, it’s not like Ted Nugent is writing any new music. He probably doesn’t have anything better to do anyway.
i mean really tho, how much more does he have after wang dang sweet poontang?
fuken magnum opus direct from the southern fried shakespeare right there.
there were about 4 minutes when i was 13 that i thought he was worth listening to.
On the one hand, that’s good, but on the other hand, Meta crossed my line over eight years ago, and I’m woefully disappointed that he was using it until this point.
I guess, but you will lead a lonely life if you can’t find common struggle with people in different scenarios than our own. We can easily lose our soul with these endless purity tests — for some reason, Leftists, progressives, and liberals seem to be constantly on the lookout for the next Jesus Christ, who will just simply energize voters by consequence of, I dunno, magic or some shit.
Neil Young is still a working musician who needs to get his face and music in front of as wide and as general of an audience as possible — why wouldn’t they be where people are? That’s what makes this stand so important. Homie needs Facebook and Insta and still said no.
I feel like more people should know what’s going on. Facebook has done some scummy stuff in the past. Now Zuck is openly defending his AI grooming children. In and of itself it doesn’t make a lot of sense — what’s the upshot for Meta here? But outside the bubble of logic, it sets kids up to be groomed by real predators. It’s unacceptable.
People say the problem is that all the people they know are on Facebook. Two issues: most of those people would forget you exist if you leave Facebook. Also, you’re the reason they’re there. The second reason is that you are literally the product. You being on Facebook is part of the reason those people are, too, so be the change you want to see in the world.
most of those people would forget you exist if you leave Facebook
This is 100% true. I dropped facebook about 10 years back. If I’m not your “friend” without facebook, then you’re not really my friend. Getting out of that cesspool of drama and ignorance was one of the best moves I’ve made.
