It's a company that actively makes people's life worse for profit.

I can’t think of a single way they’ve made my life worse. Messenger makes it easier to connect with friends. Facebook marketplace is a better Craigslist. Facebook itself is fine for sharing photos of life events with family (that’s about all I use it for and I’d prefer higher quality photos but whatever). The Meta VR headsets are great for their price. Back when I had a photography business running ads that could target newly engaged couples was great both for me and those couples that otherwise wouldn’t have discovered a photographer that matched their preferred style and budget.

Seriously - how is my life worse because of them?

It has partially ruined the psychological and social life of my generation, with much research to show for it.

You are not forced to use it if that is the case for you.

It would be lovely if that was true, but meta does not care about consent. My android phone came with Facebook pre-installed and I can only remove it over adb, something probably 0.1% of people will bother to learn how to do. They also collect shadow profiles [0] on people who have never made an account

Don't use it? I doubt most who do agree with you.
