I have exactly zero trust in Facebook but I have had so many irritating moments and missed opportunities due to ditching my account years ago that I am seriously considering reopening it again.

The main aspect I'm considering these days is that I'm not important in the grand scheme of things so there's no rational reason to increase difficulty in things that do really matter such as having memorable experiences while I can in exchange for privacy or to make some statement. In a sense, I will have privacy anyway out of just being a data point out of billions.

It's not that Facebook is convenient but rather that not having it can be inconvenient depending on your context.




You have zero trust in Facebook, and Facebook has zero trust in you. Perfect use case for blockchain, right?
