clearly I haven't because I don't follow :p could you elaborate please?
Well, judging by your previous comment.
I essentially just thinking about what the intention is behind something. What are Facebook's intentions? Are they to connect you with your friends, and improve your life? No. Their intention is keep you stuck too their platform, and sharing marketable details of your life.
You walk onto a car lot. Is your first thought "hey, this guy is super friendly! He just wants to spend time with me" not, his intention is to get you into the most expensive car he can.
Does that make sense?
Yep
