I've been considering getting Facebook but I'm thinking most likely not just because there's so much advertising on it these days and it feels weird to be treated a bit like a 'product' in a way.. What do you reckon about Facebook/other social media?
I know quite a number of people that use FB only for Messenger - the actual profile/posting side of things isn't used by them.
From my perspective I have had FB since I was around 15 or so (which is 9 years ago) so it's been my #1 social media site for that time. However i've started to use Insta and Twitter a bit more - I think each of them has their own purpose and it's about finding out what you want to get out of these social media sites.
If you just want to keep in touch with old friends etc, then you could always just do Messenger w/out the FB app.
Now, I don't really use FB much myself apart from the occassional post here and there, mostly it's about keeping up to date with pages (even though Twitter achieves nearly the same thing).
