I think one of the things at work is the repetitive questions, what kind of battery, tires, roof sealing, caulking, etc. And then the ones too lazy to go and google a bit for the simple things like light bulbs, fixing things where there are a heapin helping amount of video's to instruct the unsure. Arguments over how to jack up a trailer to change a tire(s).

IME, Facebook posters are notorious for posting about something they have no knowledge of. In fact they often lead off with the statement: "I'm not an expert...". There seems to be the feeling on Facebook that if you don't post frequently, even if it's on a topic you know nothing about, your account will wither and die.

Not really interested spending a whole lot of time online. When I'm online, I come over here, because topics tend to be more on topic than not, and there are zero ads...

That's actually a deliberate mechanic in how most social media works as part of the algorithm. If you do not post often and get an ever increasing amount of responses, your replies will be deprioritized or completely left undisplayed to most people viewing the thread.

Facebook became a waste of time in my opinion.
I honestly prefer to spend my time learning a new language that staring at my screen whole day long.
Now discovering for myself Norwegian language with these guys https://pickwriters.com/norwegian-translation-services.
For some reason i thought it will be much more complicated than it actually is.

Like most of the other stuff isn't? YouTube, Twitter, Podcasts, very little is intellectually enlightening. Even most of the forums are repetitive after a relatively short period of time.

YouTube has a lot of educational resources. For example, if you are learning a language Youtube is a huge resource.

I stay off facebook, twitter, snappy chat, tiktaks, I want to see whats going on with family or freinds, I send an email, text, pick up the phone and chat for a minute or just go an visit face to face. the social media is nothing but trouble, its destroying children, its becoming political and a tool for evil doers.
