I have 6 FB accounts and I use them all. There's no place comparable to go, why would I leave. On one TV show page, I have 16,000 followers. When I post, 16K people see it. Good for my ego. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

I have 6 FB accounts and no personal info on any of them. None are even in my real name. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |

FB has been a data miner since near the start. Zuke hates privacy for people other than himself. I am still on FB but using it less and less. I found a guy to paint my house for example, and a good, honest mechanic via the local group. FB is now all political rants and for business. Their days of being a friendly hangout are over. The President is a fink. |

Ok. :) I've realized it takes too much of my time, regardless of other considerations. from time to time I try to reduce what shows on my feed, but FB kinds of fights back and shows more from what I allow, including older posts, and adds many more suggestions of people or pages I may want to follow. I could try to keep reducing the feed, or just quit using it so much. For now I disabled it (can't delete it) from the phone with the company phone line. Donald Trump is a one-term LOSER |

| Evenbob Member since: Oct 24, 2012 Threads: 146 Posts: 25011 | My wife and sisters and parents are in FL this week. They post 40 pics a day on FB. It's a great way to keep up with what people you know are doing. It used to be you'd send a post card and after you got home it would arrive at your relatives house. Now I see videos of them minutes after it happens and I can be so glad I'm not there with them.. If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose. |
