    Shows not over. We still have 7 more songs in the audio player that automatically plays. Most had a visual player where you could pause, rewind, seek, ect.

    A few made the player hidden, autoplay, and on repeat. Still want to hunt down those people from 20+ years ago who did this.

    Did anyone here do this?

    Facebook originally had no feed, you had to go look at individual profiles to see what people had going on.

    And the day they introduced the news feed, it was a surprise. And one guy I remember was NOT expecting that quietly removing a girl from his “in a relationship with” status would turn into a news feed item broadcast to all their friends “X IS NO LONGER IN A RELATIONSHIP WOTH Y”
