Quoted from Mfsrc791:Facebook is for people who need to feel liked. and validated for every action they do. "Look at me! Im in Hawaii! It's so nice here!" They have a constant need to show off the amount of friends they have. "Check out me! I'm hanging out with my bitches at the club! YOLO!"
Lots of people I know with Facebook say it's dumb. Yet they go on it everyday. It's an addiction to some people.
This pretty much describes Facebook when it first launched. If you dig into the actual metrics and demographics today, it's a much different landscape and actually has a wide variety of applications for its users today.
