It is kind of crazy how desperately aggressive the emails from Facebook become when you go a week or two without logging in.

@petebrown If you delete FB altogether, after a while you'll start seeing ads inviting you to sign up. They know.

@petebrown The attempts at emotional blackmail when you go to delete your account are worse.

@JMaxB Oddly, that has not been my experience. Maybe my ad blockers are working.

@ReaderJohn I play a couple of puzzle games on my (ex)phone, which is where the ads appear. "(ex)phone" because I disabled it as a phone, but still use it as a wifi-enabled satellite to the computer. It never leaves the house, which has improved my out-of-house life a lot.

@colinwalker I’ll bet. It must be a pretty successful tactic for them, which is even more depressing and maddening.
