Stiavetti has decided to be less active about promoting herself on Facebook.I love me the shit out of tumblr. Unabashed full frontal nerdity, frank and honest no bullshit discussions about social justice that a non college-edjumicated guy like me can sink his teeth into, and fierce and awesome models sharing their work with us? Fuck yeah.
But one of the reasons I started spending more time on tumblr was because I’d fucking had it with the nature of facebook interactions. And as I started a page for my own endeavor on the side, I found my posts buried massively, bookended by exhortations to “boost” my posts for a small fee.
Facebook is a gated community where once you’re lured in, you’ll find that you’ll be asked to pay a toll to take a bridge over a hole that they, themselves, dug. And it’s completely anathema to how the internet should work, and the exchange of ideas.
I still lurk there, because there are some folks that are still only to be found there, and I love them. But I’ll be damned if I’m ever going to throw money at them, and I’m going to spend as little time there as possible to let them mine my actions for data.
I’ve pretty much stopped using my business page over there. It’s got almost 1400 fans, but the handy stats counter they added a few months ago tells me that 11 people saw my last post.
