My observation is that over the years TOTV has transformed from a forum where Villagers mostly shared useful information with each other to its current state of another social media site. Over the last couple of years, as the Villages has grown, many newer and younger social media users have joined TOTV and transformed it in a not so good way. I personally hate social media and think it is a bad thing for society. I have always proudly stated that I do not use social media, but I guess I can no longer say that since I do check TOTV most days. Over time I have definitely noticed that when I check out the new posts there are fewer and fewer threads that catch my interest. Oh well, it seems as we age that change is inevitable, weather we like it or not. For the owners of TOTV, it’s all about $$$, and that means maximizing clicks and selling advertising.
