      Facebook marketing across high schools and colleges is intense. And because it’s such a pivotal platform, you kinda need to get one and build up a - let’s call it a social credit score - just so you can endure admittance counselors and employers demanding to see your account as part of the screening process.

      Sort of like getting a credit card as a teenager so you can prove you’re credit worthy enough for an apartment or car loan in your twenties. You just have to post generic mundane bullshit on the timeline and join generic mundane groups so people see you as “normal”.

      Imagine you volunteer in an organization where they mentor programming for people in second and third world countries.

      And after reading your background with programming and learning that you are originally from one such country and also that you are bilingual for the one single country they currently operate to, they make you the social media manager and ask to make their facebook page where they post AI generated images and then forget about it in like 4 weeks.

      They never started the mentorship program. Yes I am still pissed about it, how can you tell?
