re: #5 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))
pretty much the same, there are some groups that I have joined that satisfy my own niche interests but I go elsewhere for my politics, I figure I can deal with the targeted ads because at least they are somewhat related to what I already like.
It’s awesome to be able to tell old acquaintances happy birthday or follow on what they are currently doing, but outside of that its all a big NOPE.
