Doesn’t matter what you want anymore. You are not the client, but the product. They are the ones getting faster horses.

Until I finally get fed up and leave. There is value in my sharing pictures of my kids with distance friends and seeing pictures of their kids - but Facebook has got so bad at that I finally gave up logging in and not I'm not a product that exists for them. And in turn because I'm not there facebook is less valueable for my friends and so they are more likely to leave in the future.

The only question are people like me outliers that can be ignored - there will always be a few people you can't get. However I could be a sign of the end.

They don't need you as the product - they found better products their customers would rather buy. My dad is one of the better products. I've seen what Facebook turned him into.
