I’m not surprised. And of those 16 posts how many of them made him mad? Since that seems like the entire purpose of FB anymore. Anger drives engagement. It’s why rage bait works so well. I highly recommend everyone disconnect from Facebook for this reason. Hell Reddit was even going down that path before we all left.
