    My mother keeps spending 11 hours a day in Facebook and then sending me random shit from it.

    Everyone always tries to pinpoint when Facebook got terrible. I was there for it. I remember it. While it happened over time the instant it was uncool and lame was when the first parent signed up.

    The moment it was over for me was when my mother sent me a friend request.

      It started even earlier than Facebook was publicly released as a product - looking into its history, it started literally before the very first line of code was ever written. (I’m not being hyperbolic, it literally started with a scam, then continued with several additional scams, and so on - I mean, I was not there, but reportedly so.)
