yeah I see these all the time with obvious bullshit giveaways like cars boats holidays etc all with poor grammar that makes me think they come from India, I don't get what the point of them is - is there some way of making $ from having a billion likes / shares or what? What exactly is their scam?

Pages get a bunch of likes by doing poo poo like this, then they sell the page to a company or whatever that doesn't want to build up the same amount of exposure. Sometimes nonscam pages sell their page too, so a page you liked changes to something completely different.

So? If people want to use facebook why does it matter? Are you being inconvenienced in some way because other people use it?

Some of us have friends in different nations and continents and cannot afford to fly out to speak to them in person and haven't quite managed to get over the embarrassment to call them at 4AM their time to let them know we like their photos of their recent scuba diving trip.

Eh I think you could make an argument that the easier spread of blatantly untrue stories and propaganda ain't great

But they would have just come through different avenues if facebook didn't exist

It's true, the development of FB was just as critical as spoken language

Anyway it's obviously great to use for certain things like you've mentioned (i.e. people in other parts of the world), but I don't think that's what most people are primarily using it for. And I'm not really comfortable with using something for "free" when the cost is selling information about myself to advertisers.

If you want to communicate with someone in another part of the world you can always just email them :confused:

If you're gonna spend the time scouring the internet for free porn clips of a buxom East German woman in lederhosen taking a hefty dump on a dude's chest whilst giving a blowie to two other dudes, opening up a private browsing window won't kill you. :shrug:
