#3: Your old-ass relatives are on Facebook and they want to see your kids. Def feel a validation dopamine fix from engagement...but it's not the only factor. (This is why I love Tinybeans and hope it rockets. It's like Instagram but for sharing family pics.)

Funny that you can join Tinybeans through FB. They say they don't sell your data, but I couldn't figure out the monetization strategy.

I am worried about the babies who show up on Tinybeans.

Indoctrinated into Instagram culture from the instant of their birth, from before they even knew how to think or talk.

Later on they'll be able to see thousands and thousands of pictures of themselves as a baby, which will surely do something warped to their young fragile egos. "The Internet? Why yes, I know all about it --- that is where all the pictures of ME are stored!"

Wasn't there some big reason that children under thirteen weren't allowed to have a Facebook account?

Good points. On the other hand, I couldn’t fit your whole comment on one screen. I did scroll down to tap reply. Please stand by while I go recover.

lack of infinite scroll != no scrolling.

your post didn't specify infinite... ;)
