Re: Facebook
"Not sure where this post is heading"
That seems to be a (if not THE) over-riding meme on most social media. People babbling about things that have no goal, no meaning, and in fact no real reason for existence. And then getting applauded for it, so they do more of the same. Lather, rinse, repeat, ad infinitum.
Try blocking "thumbs" here on ElReg for a week (or permanently). It's liberating.
