You should have learned to be very happy they disabled your account! Facebook is for idiots and for companies that milk those idiots. This event likely saved you for wasting even more of your precious life time. Be happy and do some great things with your life without feeling the need to constantly show off.

I partly agree with you, as I quit Facebook years ago, and have never wanted to go back. That said, I don't think people who use it are idiots. In fact, I can see that they get a lot of value from it. A lot of genuinely valuable content is siloed in Facebook - you're not an idiot just because you can't get it from somewhere else.

I didn't say all people who use it are idiots. But willingly sharing your private data for free while waiving all your rights? If you realise that facebook runs AI on that data and knows much more about you then you could ever imagine, and if you realise they are selling that data to companies you might not like so much, or what else more, that's pretty stupid imao.

The man runs a business that depends in considerable part on his ability to maintain Facebook pages. This ban could've put that business under. A dicey model, to be sure, but in contracting you have to go where the clients are - I think this is a fair bit beyond "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".
