    Same! My gf begged me to do it. She made me feel like an asshole for not doing it. Called me crazy to think anything would happen. Well here we are!

        To be fair, Facebook 2010 was peak and nowhere near the toxic environment it is today.

        I feel there’s an intuitive suspicion when it comes to DNA Ancestry companies.

          Nah, peak was 2005-6 when it was just college students. You could suddenly find the best parties like it was nothing, homework answers were exchanged openly, neither your parents or siblings could access and see what was going on. Farmville style games came about in 2009, which is when the decline became apparent to me.

            Yea, I suppose it is about perspective. I started using Facebook in 2009 when I was in high school. For me, it was the same deal— finding friends, hangouts, parties, etc. and it noticeably went downhill as it became more corporate and flooded with boomers who brought a toxic culture to it, imo.

      Apparently you can actually do it through the company that 23 and ME contracts. And that company has way better privacy policy.
