It&#8217;s one of those sites that people generally either love or hate, I do both. I think it is brilliant for keeping in contact with friends and family that you might not speak to very often, sharing pictures and keeping up to date. It&#8217;s also great for organising events with friends and family. I use it for groups and clubs, a great way to instantly share and plan. Those are the good things I like about Facebook.<\/p>\n<p>What I hate is the rubbish, the share this if you want, or we have 15 motor homes, iPads, Range Rovers that we can&#8217;t sell. or 90% of the other scam or just purely time wasting posts that seem to get shared constantly. My friends joke I am the Facebook police, as soon as I see something posted I will check google and 98% of the time it&#8217;s a hoax. I have un-followed people for stuff like this and am seriously considering a cull on FB as it just makes me angry when I see the rubbish some people share and the things people don&#8217;t seem to get are hoaxes. Sometimes it makes me worry for the state of the world, I can&#8217;t even make it a generational thing as people of all ages on my FB have shares some rubbish.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-1162\" src=\"http:\/\/procrastinationstation.me.uk\/Blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/06\/Facebook_like_thumb.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"200\" height=\"171\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have a love\/Hate relationship with a few websites none more so than Facebook.
