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.



& ToTV is not representative of The Villages.
(silly to think it is)
