I do not have a separate Facebook page for my dog sitting business, and am not ready to deal with potential trolls who don't agree with what I post, ask. It is VERY easy to take things out of context and use them for a purpose that they were not intended.
I am not "wise" in the ways of Facebook, cross posting, snap chat, what's app and other new social media platforms. I possess little desire to have all of my "aggregated" so that marketers learn how to manipulate what I purchase, recommend and think. The micro targeting of ads designed to present issues and matters in a light that gets you agreeing with something, creating an echo chamber wherein I am unable to engage in perspective taking. I enjoy well reasoned discussions based on observable, independently verified facts.
I remember learning to write papers on different topics, and then being told present the other side as vigorously as my first paper. This helped/trained my mind in a myriad of ways that allow me to mediate most any group dispute. I appreciate the different perspectives people express, believe and live. I am immensely uncomfortable in situations where a company, makes decisions based on what grows their business. Which - I understand and as a shareholder I appreciate....as a consumer when my personal ways of thinking, purchasing, and interacting in the world are then the property of a corporation, free to buy and sell their insights about me, and how I relate (or don't) to people of similar demographics - and then those insights are utilized to determine what level of service I receive, what answers are presented or not. I comprehend what the business is after and respect that. I regret that I no longer am able to learn of other options, see other spokes in the wheel, and participate in a leap of comprehension and understanding.
So, Until I get a FB page related to the professional dog walking part of my life, I will not connect with Rover on Facebook.
Just joined! 😁
