Facebook seemed to have the opposite effect than what I thought would happen. Before FB I would call people on my phone list which was a paper list I had next to my landline! I was a very late adopter of cellphone tech. I would receive calls too from people who hadn't heard from me in a while. FB stopped all of that! Once I was on someone's list they didn't need to contact me, they knew what they needed to know and if someone was on my list I figured I didn't need to contact them because they probably saw the post! My mother got very mad at my cousin because she stopped calling to tell my mom stuff; it was fixed briefly by my mother getting on FB and she loved it! She can't do it now, because she forgets stuff...
It just seems weird that FB has changed human interaction for the worst. It IS because we are sold as a commodity, it IS because the algorithm prioritizes paid ads and frequently clicked on material instead of just forwarding every message from your friend list like it used to. Now I understand that many people will NOT see what I post and it is frustrating!
