I’m guilty of having a Facebook profile myself. I used it quite a lot in 2013-14 and posted almost every day. In those two years, I really wanted local fame and wanted to be well known and loved by many around me as I ventured into bars and seeing quite a lot of local bar bands. Around September 2014, I began to give up on it and since then, I don’t post very often on the Facebook. Facebook has helped with advertising some of my creative products in the past, including this blog.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The platform is also useful for events. I do like seeing what’s going down with the few local bands I see and other local sporting events such as Detroit City FC<\/a>, Oakland County FC and a few others. It’s also good to keep tabs on family. It’s the best way for me to keep in touch with my folks. Besides that, I try my absolute best not to be on it so much. Last month, for some reason, Facebook logged me off on my phone and required me to log back in. I haven’t done that on my phone yet and probably won’t do so.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With the the 60 minutes episode about Facebook, that wasn’t so surprising. I heard a few news blurbs about Facebook’s involvement of the January 6th Capitol Riot<\/a>. But what interested me more on the troubles of Facebook, is the great Patrick Bet-David’s interview with a former Facebook Moderator:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
