Back when Facebook launched their original API, I built a few games and apps on the platform, earning a few thousand on ads (the mid 2000s were a wild time).

This got me hired as a "Social Media Expert" at a Fortune 100 company in the marketing department, before even graduating college - a position that didn't exist and I didn't apply for, they were just terrified about Facebook and what it meant. Eventually I shifted to their "innovation department" creating many internal social networks, back when that was a thing.
