Facebook was always God awful.
The way it came along and buried MySpace was shocking.
Going from MySpace, a place where you could customize your page with layouts, embed music, etc. and being herded into a platform totally devoid of individual expression like FB...
These days, there would be a huge conspiracy theory around it.
Everybody would think it was suspicious as fuck... unfortunately back then though, people were still incredibly naive.
It was the ultimate push to get rid of anonymity...
If you used your real name on MySpace, you were either crazy as fuck, or you were a celebrity who had a reason to.
FB single-handedly made it okay (in a totally fabricated and strategic move) to tie your real identity to your online persona.
It was CIA from the start...
I remember going through the FB profiles from user 1 to like 100 one night...
NONE of them were Mark Zuckerberg. They were ALL middle eastern, arab and Israeli names.
