    Heard about that at work on the radio and couldn't help but to laugh.

    After all the shit they had they pull this off. Am even more baffled people took the 20 dollars
     
    This is why I left Facebook. It's getting to the point where they don't do shit about anything. All they care about is changing things that their users don't even like. Not only that, but I've reported things that go against their rules... and they've always come back and said that it doesn't. The fact that they decided to do this really puts them super low. :/
     
    Man... Makes me really want to leave. I'm only using Messenger now, not the actual fb app/site. But to have to gatehr all those contacts and content again....... ugh :/
     
    privacy standards being lowered with social media websites is worrying :(
    hope facebook get its crap together (since i still use messenger >.>)
     
    I'm considering deleting my fb acc and signing up for only Messenger via another email address instead. And try to add back the people I talk to and re-enter all the groups..... sdhfkjskd ok what a bother it'd be ;;
     
    Facebook is all about big data now thats how the make their income. So not surprising, Even heard of Deepface?

    As for me I dont use Facebook at all, The only social media I'm on is Discord. :D
     
    Not that I care for special "apps", but this is yet another reason why I'm glad to not have a Facebook account anymore. It still makes me mad when certain websites (especially news outlets) require that you "sign in with Facebook", for one thing.

    I gotta agree on how people hate when Facebook changes things into ways that users don't like. I don't care if certain changes are "necessary" so that the platform can "avoid ending up like MySpace". Can't companies find something that actually works and STICK WITH IT?

    I think the same can be said about Google/YouTube, Twitter, and Microsoft as well.

    I'm so baffled by how they thought this was a good idea in the wake of the Cambridge Analytica scandal. I'm less baffled by people being willing to install it, of course, but... they should have known better, lol.

    Also $20 + referrals seems pretty high to give individuals for something like this. They really are just rolling in money, huh?
     
    Really? 20 bucks isn't enough to me. That's a pittance considering what they get out of it.

    That said, I had an interesting conversation with a friend once about how the younger generations are starting to accept a more and more diminishing lack of privacy. Like, just accept it as "that's the way it is lol?" And that maybe we should be trying to resist it more.

    But that begs the question, does that mean that we're finally the generation becoming out of touch? Like this is our version of what our parents thought was stupid about us being on computers growing up, and this is our version of what the younger gens see as being regressive?

    I still resist it though. At the very least because it's just plain annoying.

    Lol, don't get me wrong, it's not nearly enough for me either, but I just figure anyone willing to throw away their phone privacy away for $20 is... probably also willing to do it for, like, $5. :P

    It's not just younger generation. It kinda feels like Gen X and Millennials are the only ones old enough to remember an internet with privacy while still being young enough to be savvy about it, because they grew up with computers.

    At the same time, Gen Z is a bunch of nihilists they know the world is going to be crappy by the time they have the run of it, what's one more company knowing what memes they look up. I kinda get the mindset, hahaha. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

    I use google opinion rewards, so far all they've asked me is if I'm a student about 200 times and if I've "heard about" companies that I never do.

    It's usually stuff like "are you a student?"
    "how much college have you completed?"
    "Have you ever heard of or seen advertisements for [name of company ive never heard of before in my life, usually something European sounding but I never look them up afterwards]?"

    Occasionally it'll give me a youtube video screenshot and ask me "On a scale of one to five, how would you rate this recommendation?"

    It's pretty mundane stuff.
