1. Great cartoon and so, so true!

Social media is designed to keep people there as long as possible through algorithms that provide them with clickbait the algorithm decides they're interested in, putting them into a feedback loop.

And, sadly, even people on DU who should know better still think they're in control.

2. Yes, my new and first smart phone is 98% ads and 2% for me

I suppose I'll get used to it, add a few apps here or there, but then again, maybe not.

3. Love your sig line

I was creeped out by FB's business plan from the beginning, so I avoided it.

I've found Ghostery to be helpful in removing trackers, beacons and the like. I set Foxfire to delete cookies, cache and history when I close it. I use Duck Duck Go or Smart Page as browsers, supposedly they use data for a day, then delete. My searches haven't been particularly limited by either, usually a good thing unless I have to wade through pages of right wing nonsense to find what I'm looking for.

I have a smart phone now, the dumb phone was AT&T and they suck. Text messages are all advertising but that's OK, I can't read them anyway.
