    AI is cool with it and doesn't have the sense God gave a piss ant to stop it.

    You can prevent them from auto-playing. That way they are just pictures along with every other goddam useless meme.

    Google it for your particular platform.

    This, so much.

    When I post, I don't us meme very much. I don't like it when people use their minds to mouse-click "Share" on a picture without attaching, " ... and this brings to mind an experience I had ..."

    The fucking meme-share is so uninformative, usually, wrong, and never original.

    When I post on Facebook, it's original material, often with citation, and, while I expand, I don't write a fucking book.

    The subjects are in my wheelhouse.

    Meme-jamming is useless as tits on a bore (see what I did there).

    I see your point and agree with your observation and wish to expand it to include my experience along the same lines.

    I'm an amateur photographer (I don't sell my photos) and have been since 2001. It happens that people enjoy the product of my work.

    Facebook is an excellent venue for exposure (see what I did there).

    I spend way more time in the field than I do on Facebook.

    My wife is a "scanner," as well.

    She has a Paper White and reads so prolifically it's amazing.

    Facebook's drive to monetize is not surprising, but their business model, for me, is just eye clutter.

    ... because I'm honest, but I can't use profanity because my Facebook Friends are actual friends, acquaintances, family and stuff.

    Twitter, using a fake name, however, is a great motherfucking outlet to compensate so I can say things like, "Fuck that pussy-grabbing baby-raping goddam whore mongering Trump and all of his goddam family."

    For real.

  6. TL;DR

    Designing keyloggers and selling them to people is, apparently (we'll see) illegal.

    The legal system will sort it out.

    You and I will not.

  7. ... near half of our people with STEM degrees don't even work in STEM fields because of the shitty pay and working conditions.

    Simple message here: Don't get a goddam degree in STEM.
