I never "like" posts - if I have an opinion it is usually a joke and thence a reply. AI has difficulty categorising humour. As evident from the Ads it sends. Which disappeared for a long time because I always delete them as "Irrelevant".

The old adage that Fakebook keeps people in touch is the reason I have an account. My family are in Canada & NZ - and they use Fakebook rather than e-mail - so I have to. Plus sessions and Folk Clubs often have an account, which is a conduit to check on data for mister.red
