Ratings and Reviews
Making comparisons
When you are tik tok you don’t have control of the feed. It controls what you see. Algorithms are not your friend.
Yes algorithms are used on face book too, but you as the user can control what you do and do not want to be fed to you.
When you want to add more pictures onto photo albums and posts in Facebook you. An come back and do that any time. With instagram you can not update photo albums. Thats a BIG deal. Also with instagram you can’t edit a comment you wrote you can only delete it and rewrite a new one. This should not be this way. Also instagram does not give you the option to follow witth seeing someone’s feed. You have to unfollow someone to not see their feed and then people think the friendship is over. I like that I can take a break from some one’s post’s on gave book because :0 days can give good a break say if you know you just don’t want to see what they’re into sharing at the moment.
I also like how face book has the option to display public pictures when your Facebook profile I private. Once again it comes down to giving me, the user, more control of what I put out there and what I want to get. People who did not grow up using Facebook don’t realize what they are missing out on.
Abandoned amusement park
Facebook used to be amazing. Now it’s mostly ads. They tried to create an algorithm where you have visibility of the same group of people over and over, it’s VERY boring. Their reels platform was actually getting pretty cool because they paid content creators to come over, but then when things started going well, they stopped paying them. They refused to ever monetize my account because I posted a video with a watermark, 15 videos back. Their appeal process is horrible and they have literally zero customer service. They “shadow ban” you if you post a link or share a news story so no one actually has visibility unless they search for it on my page. They grossly limit freedom of speech, esp for LGBTQ and other minority groups. They layered in so many things it got confusing, messenger is it’s own app, but reels is not, making reels difficult to share. Their system in wonky and hard to maneuver through, you get used to it, but the whole time your think “why?”. It has some value for older people to stay in touch, that’s the only good thing I can say. Like an abandoned amusement park, it used to be fun, but now it’s rusty and outdated.
One star is generous
I’ll leave my old review done there from when Facebook messenger sprouted off in to a new app. However this app in the last 11 years or so of me using it has. 1.) targeted me with negative posts (I am bipolar and when they were running this experiment)I had no idea and ended up checking in to a facility. 2.) even with my political preference in my profile they still poured the other party down my throat every election year 3.) the people who use add space often don’t send out the product 4.) their intrusive way of advertising listens in to whatever we say, if you don’t believe me spend 15 min talking about a random thing close the app and then open it boom adds for thing. 5.) now the open chat for like random groups the general chat. Sooooooooooo annoying. I don’t want 99 notifications about people chatting I like most people has been cowed in to using Facebook! However this is the worst app ever. It's slow it's realitivlty ugly and you can't preform all the functions that you can on Facebook web as easily! Most people are running Facebook and the Facebook messenger! Taking down posts is near impossible you normally end up somehow back at the top of your news feed. And reporting posts takes so long you may as well keep seeing the male sexual organ on the screen! It is faster to go to Facebook from your safari browser! Facebook app developers do something
