What got me off Facebook was their fucking algorithm. Any time I said anything slightly controversial, like suggesting Trump was being less than honest, Facebook would make sure everyone I knew who disagreed saw it. For EnGaGeMeNt!

After a few engagement blowups, I barely use Facebook anymore. And now when I check, my feed is so full of ads and sponsored posts, and has precious little content from actual friends, that it's just not worth the headache.
