I was recently thinking about how early Facebook was a harmless or good thing for the world that was easy to have a healthy relationship with.

I could check it once a day, know that I had seen every post from my friends and family, like the cat pictures, ask for the recipe for the lunch picture, and be done. Of course it's not very profitable for Facebook for me to be done so now it tries to show me a bunch of stuff I can't look away from. That drowns out posts from my friends, so those posts get less interaction, and now my friends don't post pictures of their cats regularly.
