This is just an extreme form of my problem with both Facebook and Linkedin, both of which have become utterly unusable over the last year.
Linkedin is particularly aggressive with the "someone you know liked a comment by someone you don't know on a post by someone else you don't know, from three months ago about an even that has alredy happened...". Utterly irrelevant crap that it is convinced will get me to come back.
I actually like the basic idea of social media, I want to know what my friends and family have been up to, or the people I'm professionally connected with, it's a nice way to stay connected to people you might not get to see regularly.
The SM companies have all managed to utterly ruin their own products to the point where I don't/won't/can't use them.
I would love it if someone could make a site that helped me stay in contact with my wider social circle without trashing it in the deperate pursuit of ad dollars. Sadly I can't see something like that happening and not then being ruined.
