I use social media, and have been used by social media. Meta Corp., which owns Facebook (FB), Instagram (IN), and WhatsApp, earns 97.5% of its revenue from the sale of advertising (Wikipedia).

I have had a personal profile page on Facebook since 2005. Until recently my last post on my personal page was in 2019 and decided to only post on my business page which has the same name. In January 2022 I decided to delete both personal and business pages after repeatedly having difficulties connecting my website/blog to my FB business page. Apparently I simplely put it to sleep (disabled).
After reading an article where the writer also thought he had deleted his account only to discover it was just disabled I decided to see if I made the same mistake…. and I did and un-disabled or rather re-enabled my FB account.

I also had an Instagram business account under the same name which as of now has been static for 4 months and I will not be using it ever again. Not deleted, nor disabled, but disowned!

I also have a Twitter account under the same business name and mostly used it to view (and attempt to answer) medical case questions. Rarely successful I nevertheless enjoy it, reminding me of my time working at a hospital as a therapist. I no longer use Twitter as it’s a sack of shite. And not the good shite mind you but the really really egotistical mind-numbing shite.
The only social media I use with any regularity is YouTube and its mostly a one way street as I don’t up load many videos.

I guess in the now and future I will post to this blog and rather reluctantly my FB personal page. That is until FB disgusts or bores me or the mother ship comes back to pick me up.
Beam me up Scotty.
