Especially not having ads.
One friend keeps sending me some weird AI generated videos from time to time. I guess he gets those from Facebook, Instagram or some other trash pile like that. I have no idea how horrible it would be to see that sort of AI vomit all the time.
Advertisements are pollution
It is and we know what how they can be used to manipulate people.
This also reminded me that I should freaking donate monthly to my instance owner since I can afford to.
Edit: I now have a monthly donation setup.
A few months before I completely left Facebook all I saw on my feed were ads. Absolutely no content from friends. The only way to see that they had updated anything was to go to their page. I would follow them and still no updates on my feed at all.
Facebook is not a social network, now it is only an ad network and the ads were rarely relevant. It’s not even good a being shitty.
