Facebook is abusive in every respect
This example may be mild but it's just an example of how it never ends:

I am searching for something. I look on facebook marketplace. I put in my city. I choose 5 mile radius. The thing I want pops up many times. I click on them. The first one is 40 miles away... the next is 45 miles away. None are in my city. Ok. I select the next closest city and hit 5 mile radius. All the search results are exactly the same. There is no way to see how far away the item is unless you click it and look at more details.

It doesnt even separate them into "local results" and "outside the radius" results.

Therefore wasting my time as I would rather order it off amazon than have drive 80 miles to get it.

It's an abuse of my time and my patience. Why even have the option to select a radius?

Sorry if this isnt GLP worthy but I just wanted to point out how near to worthless facebook is. For all their features and algorithms they have to stoop to deceptive practices.

Here is how Mark Suckerberg makes money when you join facebook for free.

Every video you post, every comment you post, is recorded by intelligent little automatic bots. These bots are capable of harnessing comments, and feeding them into large super computers. The data is then mined and sold off to everyone who advertises on facebook.com They literally are using you like in the Matrix for energy, but instead for MONETARY GAIN. They use your name, your status, and your location; your friends all for MONETARY GAIN. This is why it is a free service. You are all giving away free advertisement to pay for facebook.

Along with the ad revenue. Facebook data mines so they can see what kind of people like certain things. Do you have hobbies? Are they posted? The bots will data mine your posts and start showing you advertisements based on what you post. Your like fishing? Ads will post showing fishing supplies for sale. It cycles through every other person like you, and data feeds it into the Advertisement algorithms.

If you get enough data. You can predict a small percentage of outcome. This is why he got hit with lawsuits. He is selling the data he mined to make himself wealthy. He is literally telling companies how to market and monopolize media and social media sees him as this glorious character.

I hope that helps. You guys are owed a lot. I suspect some of you are owned into the thousands for your brilliant posts, and stupid posts, and those in between. You advertise FOR FREE.
