    8:52 – Ya know, I don’t get why we shit talk people’s style. What kind of world are we making? Why bother doing so? Not that it’s a big terrible thing to criticize something like that, but I don’t get why that’s any sort of way we would want to behave and treat each other.

    Always remember, social media exists to sell its product (Your time and attention) to their customers (Advertisers). It’s a lot easier to resist social media if you remind yourself that you’re the product.

    I’m glad my guesses about how social media would turn out were correct, so I never got into it in the first place. If there was such a thing as antisocial media… I probably wouldn’t join that either.

    Break up Facebook now. Make them sell Instagram and Whatsapps and other companies they own.

    I recently reported a fb picture of Zuck as Hitler, and their hate-speech bot didn’t remove it. They are a joke.

    Zucky may actually be doing something right when both the left AND the right hate Facebook. As to the whistleblower, she’s a divisive pro-censorship partisan who should be ignored.

    8:55 Imagine if that headband *didn’t* match the color of his blazer.

    That would’ve been such an embarrassing fashion blunder. Crisis averted.

    How did the new outlets get stories without Facebook?

    Omg. I thought I was being unusually backward and nonchalant about not needing to post anything on FB and not using Instagram. Turns out I was actually being independently self-confident and secure about myself and my life.

    Imagine turning in a joke about rich people (including an animation of masses with pitch forks!) to the show host you know makes $15 million a year. That writer has some big balls.
