Into it. Friends have, and they can't quit it because they belong to various groups on there.

I use FB for our business to introduce new products, give tips, announce sales and generally to foster a community with our customers. It is free and it works well for those reasons. I don't look at the news feeds ever because it's all BS. Every bit of it. The other day, a customer was commenting on our posts and how much she enjoyed them. As we talked, this woman says "you know, it is hard to discern what news on FB is real and what isn't...don't you agree"? Mind blown. I was stunned. After I got my shit together, I said "Dorothy, NONE of that 'news' on FB is real. You have to know that. Don't look at it and don't click on it EVER. Russians raised all kinds of hell in our elections using FB and other platforms. Russians are still lurking there." And she says "Do you really believe that?" It is no wonder we are here.
