Lurking: How a Person Became a User by Joanne McNeil

4.0

What starts as a quaint and insightful history of online users in its first half, gains a head of steam in its second that culminates in a devastating takedown of Facebook that I wish I'd had at the ready every time someone asked me to explain why I quit the platform for good 4-5 years ago. Everyone should read at least this chapter, especially those who continue to work for a company that has polluted systems far beyond its immediate newsfeed cesspool.
