Facebook turned into hate book

article image placeholderFacebook now hate book
So I haven't been on Facebook very much at all, except in a few well groomed and maintained groups on Facebook because it's the most part, it's turned into hatebook. But I was surprised. I think I've identified a new type of Facebook troll. You gain a big old following, promote yourself as an expert, and then you make statements like Covet only kills the week

The trolls are intentionally trolling to create engagement so they can continue trolling

@LifeOrigami some just want the banter

Hey, Greg, in my experience, these kind of personalities just want to argue it's a hot button for them, gives them a rush. It is a psychological fact that the endorphins things that kick off because of this engagement, regardless of whether it's based on falsehoods or purely an emotional rant. It's just a rush of engagement that drives a lot of these folks on it happened all over my flow on the run up to the American election

Conflict is good for Facebooks business model

I only go to Facebook about once a week and I go in there and here's his post surfaces in my feed and I'm scrolling through. I had to go back. It was so extreme. It was so obscene to me, so offensive. It was interesting, though. I kept the calm head, and while he was swearing or whatever I called him to count. He said, Ask a specific question, and I said, Well, I believe I did ask a specific question
