This calls itself satire, but I don't think it is.  It's exactly how I've mentally described Facebook for years.

It is definitely "Vampiric" in a sense.

I think different people use FB in different ways for different reasons.  I use it to spread/share information.  I also use it so I know what events (music mainly) are happening in my area.  I couldn't give a shit about who likes or dislikes what I post but I know that is important to some people.

I use it mostly to play games and for what it was made: get information about other people. ;D

It was selling that info that gave you Trump I believe.  That and Comey's letter. ;)

Oh and thousands of Russians (and Russian bots) on social media and forums (including AboveTopSecret....) :P

Sometimes you can tell more about a person from what they don't share on Facebook than what they do. :)

That's why I sometimes answer their questions, but only some, so they get a distorted version of me. :)
