      Facebook is like 95% ragebait by volume, so, not big surprise.

          The surprise for me is Facebook paying for it.

              Now you’ve seen a small fraction of the shit they’re up to. This is a terrible company. Carry this knowledge with you and share it with others if you are so inclined.

                  I deleted my account, which I only created under pressure, years ago.

                        Facebook pays them indirectly all the time by pushing their accounts. Then they use that platform to push products and collect compensation accordingly.
