Today I was surprised when I logged in to Facebook to see a question/survey asked to me by Facebook themselves that I found very interesting. I was given five answers to choose from.
Please Agree or Disagree to the following statement:
Facebook is good for the world.
Strongly agree
Agree
Neither agree nor disagree
Disagree
Strongly disagree
I took a screenshot and then immediately clicked the X on the top right of the question box. I am not feeding the data pool anymore that I already have to by being a user.
Why am I still on Facebook?
The reason that I stay on Facebook, despite the fact that I know it's bad, is to stay connected with my friends. I feel would lose a lot of connections with my friends if I left Facebook. People invite me to there events through it, send me messages, and tag me when they are thinking about me. I wanted to stayed connected and I don't feel like I have ways to reclaim my friends separate from Facebook.
There really is no solution I have for the ending of this post to these problems. I just found it interesting that Facebook wanted to figure out what percentage of the world still thinks there existence is good.
At least I have Steemit, which is my safe haven away from the craziness of Facebook. Hopefully steemit won't start becoming like Facebook or the other social media data miners once it starts growing more.
