      I was going to say the same thing.

      They’re just smarter about it.

      My cousin has a “family account” where it’s photos of her and life events, with her mom connected to it.

      Then she has her shit posting account where she’s showing off how many shots she can take before she does a backflip.

          i guess the smartness is not about whether you expose yourself to big tech, but rather whether your mum can judge you. because when your mum judges you, you feel bad, but when big tech exploits you, it’s just another tuesday.

      They have an etiquette around how many posts/pics a day are acceptable and also heavily control their own narratives. Which is probably why genz barely drinks compared to previous generations.

        There’s that, but also the fact that a $20 bottle of liquor is portioned into 20 $6 shots.

    I remember a long time ago that the Facebook app used to have an auto-upload feature so every photo you took would just get posted to Facebook on its own.

    I say “used to”, I’m assuming they got rid of it.

      If they got rid of it (didn’t even know they had it), it was probably due to one too many unsolicited nudes posted on their timeline for everyone, including grandma, to have witnessed

    It was like that when you needed a .edu email to sign up. I swear that and finding hook ups were it’s main uses back then. Then they opened it up to our parents, those pictures are fucking permanent btw. In 2005 we felt very comfortable in our closed garden and did not give a fuck.

    I still have a picture of a gay porno mag I found while drinking under a bridge posted on Facebook from 2008. No one’s ever noticed it in the “picture of the bridge”

    Can someone explain this to me? I don’t know how Facebook works

    • Early Facebook/Late Myspace days we all used to upload our entire albums to share with the world. Back then, most people didn’t even care who they friended. So we had pictures of us doing illegal shit, passed out, doing keg stands, random picture of a wall. We just dumped into Facebook like teens taught abstinence only on prom night.

        Oh yeah. That makes sense. I feel like people still will upload equivalent quantity but its much more curated. Back then, we’d just post shit and there wasnt a culture or an algorithm. Now people post like influencers because that’s what the algorithm likes and what social media culture is.
