Oh no, not FB!

I try to avoid FB if I can help it but a lot of people use it to keep in
touch with family members. My understanding is that many businesses feel the
need to have a presence on Facebook. It's a major advertising outlet. I
don't understand how it all works, myself but the business that I work for
has a guy handling advertising and the social medias. That's just how
business gets done in the year 2020.

I use FB for keeping in touch with the kids and grands I do see the
cooking group but I rarely read it

I much prefer it here without all the adverts.
