A fair question, I joined Facebook back in 2009 at the naïve age of 13 and at that time (as you may remember?) most people didn’t understand the importance of online privacy so I added anyone and everyone I knew in real life. I would even add random people who shared mutual friends with me because their lives looked interesting and I wanted to stalk them. With age I became much more selective in who I accepted and flirted with the idea of mass-deleting all the people I would not want to have a conversation with but the honest reason I didn’t was that too many of my Facebook “friend’s” profiles are goldmines of trashy and embarrassing content. I said that people are more careful about what they share these days, but these clowns never got the memo, off the top of my head I have found nudes, confessions of illegal substances and horribly drawn furry art shared shamelessly on their profiles. It’s my own personal nostalgic circus, so that’s why I chose to hide my friend’s list.
