My growing issue with that platform (and with Facebook, which I likewise left) is that I was clearly the commodity not the consumer. Those platforms are built for advertisers, not for users.
Spot on. It is all about advertising. The reason we all went was to keep in touch with friends and family. Recently, I could count on one hand the number of posts by people I knew in any given month. The rest were recommendations, influencers, product placement, and foreign interference...
Hundreds of politically incendiary posts by pages based in Morocco, Cambodia, or Lithuania (presumably Russian sponsored troll farms) pretending to be American patriots and veterans.
Just makes one feel like a pawn, a commodity open to the highest bidder.
