"When I first heard about face book i joined because many of my friends had and it was a way to see what they were all up to. Then it became a place to share notices about my upcoming performances in the Singapore Slingers - A 1920s fox trot orchestra (think of old cartoon music) and a way to share those performance for those who could not attend. I did the video as well and the videos are a legacy which you can see here."
"I had a direct link to the foxtrot era as my great 2nd uncles Leo Forbstein and Louis Forbes(tein) were hollywood musical directors in that era. Leo was musical director on many Bogart/Becall films that stand as classics to this day. I was named for my maternal grandfather Irwin Forbstein. Then facebook decided to change our feeds complaining of bandwidth. The real truth was increasing profits and manipulation which continues to evolve. You are nothing but a free content provider and a profit unit. Remember that."
"I accepted ads paid for the free connection, but everything you post reveals probably more about you than you know of yourself, which will be used to generate revenue. I am long past caring. And I am driven to speak. I recognized each of the changes by who engaged with me and how. Prior to President Trump's 1st term we were pitted against each other for argument's sake. Keep them yelling."
I joined Facebook to keep up with friends and to share performance notices for the Singapore Slingers, a 1920s foxtrot orchestra. I created videos as a legacy of those performances. Family ties to Leo Forbstein and Louis Forbes(tein) connected me directly to the foxtrot era and Hollywood musical direction. Facebook changed feeds citing bandwidth while shifting priorities toward increasing profits and manipulation. I accepted ads for a free connection, but everything posted reveals personal information that will be used to generate revenue. I recognized feed and engagement changes by who engaged and how. Search relevance weighting shifted toward SEO manipulation for ad dollars, making AI useful to find quality information.
