I am baffled any time I'm on facebook how horrid it is. Loads insanely slowly, won't accept picture uploads at random, randomly doesn't let you share to people in your friends group (it will just hide people for no reason). Such a terrible website. Sadly I have to stay on it for friends and music reasons (there is nothing else anyone I know uses) but man, it's crazy how badly they want you to install their spyware app so you don't use the browser version.

I wish that was true but I dont prefer being completely isolated from my friends.

The fact of the matter is most of them have kids and jobs and dont know shit about technology and aren't going to install another app when "facebook works fine".

So yes I cant really complain about it, but man how shitty their site is just pisses me off when there is no reason for it to be this bad.

I get what you're saying but it's not actually that kind of all or nothing situation. I've never met a person that would only do FB or nothing at all. Everyone is browsing FB on their phone anyway so skip the middleman and start a group message thread. Easy solution that takes almost no effort or adjustment. Nothing will ever improve if people like you and I refuse to change our habits even slightly.
