56: What will happen if I stop ‘liking’ things so much?

I’m not a massive Facebook user anymore. It has become something that I look at regularly but quickly leave again because I get frustrated with my feed.

Facebook, over the last few days, have developed their like button into additional emoticons to show love, anger and other things. (If I wasn’t writing this on my phone, I would find an image of them to share…)

However, it strikes me that this is a new way for Facebook to gather information about me.

So I’ve decided to rebel. Wherever I can (as in, whenever I remember) I am going to not like a thing else on Facebook for at least the next month or so and see what happens. Instead, I will use words and comment on the things I like. I have no idea whether this will make a difference or not, but I shall see.
