They are pushing a "new"* TV series quite hard at the moment, called Treadstone. I'd never heard of it so I Googled to see if I would be interested.
And below the first entry - Wiki describing it - was a section titled "People also ask:"
This has three entries:
Why was Treadstone Cancelled?
Why was Treadstone so bad?
Is Treadstone worth watching? Ah. These are clearly the questions I should have asked. The answers were helpful as well...
... ratings had declined to just 371,000 live viewers by the season finale ...
... the poor editing, poor script, and the one-dimensional acting. The disjointed sequences are hard to follow, maybe because of the poor directing or maybe because of the lack of character development.
... nothing about it really justifies it's existence. Thanks Google! I'll give that one a miss. 
* I.e. new to them.

Give anything "new" a few years to settle before choosing to watch it.

Counter argument: "The Expanse".
Worth watching from day one.

I expect it's not something I would enjoy.

Give it a try - you might change your mind. Or read the books first to get the idea.

The Expanse... does it grow on you after a few episodes?

Only if you are exposed to protomolecule.

The term is yet again one of those things that people say, but I doubt understand. Certainly not me, but I also don't say it. Any description or links describing what this next demonic use of technology is, so I can sound informed when talking to my Anthroposophist friends that the coming of the anti-Christ won't be as a person but as technology?

What would you like it to mean?
And did you actually ask about the correct subject?

I tend to compare it to a "multitool" - sounds like a damn good idea but when you try to use it for anything you realise it is completely useless.

It's a lazy theoretic solution, like dark matter.

With doing zero research, I get the impression it's a virtual mall. Like a 3D house tour. Look but no touch; other than maybe a hologram. Virtual scooters to get around? (Don't want to get tired). And "they" will know what you're playing at.

Lol, you couldn't be anymore wrong...
But I guess a nice try if you don't know what it is.

The Multiverse is the cosmology theory that our universe exists within a context that includes many other universes as well.
The difficult we do right away...
...the impossible takes slightly longer.

Shouldn't that be "Facebookverse"?

I'm thinking 'adverse' would be more accurate.

Perhaps, now come up with a CCC clue where 'Facebookverse' is the solution.
