By some I mean the ones who click accept on everyone's friend request without genuinely getting to know them....just to see if you have anything in common to connect on other than going to the same High School, college, or work together. Now I can understand if you have a business that you started up and you need as many customers on your page to increase sells then of course.
Just that what I am confused about is if in High School you didn't hang around certain people but they are your friend on Facebook...and you boosting these people's comments up that never gave you a time a day in High School... rather than connecting based on real and true interests... you want to comment on posts here and there based on what entertains you. Lol hence as to why I rather focus on communities geared towards my interests. So if anyone ask me if I have a Facebook...I am saying no. I will only exchange my phone number or email based on how long I have known you for. If you want to communicate with me do it in text,phone call or email. But this whole Facebook sending friendship request and accepting...is just another number amongst other number of people lost in the clouds where the person doesn't connect or try to get to know you but maybe creep or spy on your page to see what you are all about rather than knowing what you are all about in person or communicating with you over the phone too.

I figured out a long time ago that some people (or even cultures) use Facebook vastly differently than me or people I personally know. When I was active there I believed that it was a non-anonymous platform for people who knew each other personally. I still don't get involved with anyone I don't have on my friend list.
Back in the day it wasn't about politics either. Now it resembles any comment section on popular online newspapers where complete strangers talk to each other informally and with utter disrespect. It's tragic how much it changed since 2010-2012 but the change was deliberate. There wasn't space for interactions of this kind in the past because there was no spam in the feed. Just what we subscribed to. Now I get news or any kind of bullshit really whether I want to see it or not. That's why FB became almost unusable.
