I used Facebook back around 2009 when I felt obligated to do so to keep up with friends from school, and then I came out as trans and basically nuked my social circle. While I'm friendly with people at work and I'd call them work friends, every time I've really tried to bridge the gap from work to personal it's fizzled out primarily because I don't use social media and I'm fine with that. I like having a small handful of people I really like and trust. Some of my best friendships formed away from social media, on the remnants of internet 1.0. This guy's idea of the future of friendship means just alienating you more from the people directly in your life and pushing you towards a walled garden of his creation where you only talk to "people" he wants you to who will make you just happy enough to stay hooked but not satisfied so you have to come back.
