Facebook is a unique place. It's used by about 3 billion people globally, and yet the most frequent sentiment I hear is "Crazy that people are still on Facebook." It's ridiculed in my circles, dismissed as a place where boomers go to fight about politics, humble (or not-so-humble) brag and ask their peers about mystery skin diseases. Sometimes the wildest posts aren't even meant to be posts at all: they're adorable gaffes from senior citizens who simply don't know how to use social media at all.

While all the craziness mentioned above might keep some people from logging in to Facebook or other social media channels, we're kind of forced to stay on for work purposes. This is why we've grown to appreciate the spectacle of people living their terrifying truths online. Their oversharing, rants, raves, and nonsense posts provide us with some serious entertainment. And if you enjoy schadenfreude like we do, you will, too.
