No I don't fucking want to connect with Facebook!

[cherrylula]

Is this something that is going to go away? Probably not?

a lot of people feel the same.

It's like the net is going to turn into some massive collective of attention whores, spreading their persona from site to site, liking all sorts of shit, commenting uselessly on random pages whoring for eyes on their little fake internet self.

People are being fucking STUPID on fiverr. Youtube videos. Srsly. STOP IT.

One day, this shit is going to split. Like the church. I'll go underground with those who cherish things other than "LOOK AT ME IM A FUCKING LOSER ATTENTION WHORE"

some of these asshole are making money though. oh gawd. Used to be you could get naked and profit. Now you have to make a fool of yourself. (nudity optional).

[cherrylula]

And this topic will probably go way over the head of some here. Expected.

I almost miss being flamed. But the thrill is gone. :/

edit; I forgot to put Obama and Pussy in the title. Nobody is going to read this!

[L-Pink]

I like your post.

.

[BlackCrayon]

its your choice to be a part of it, ignore it or whatever. i don't use facebook or any social media sites so beyond youtube, i don't even see it.

[cherrylula]

Well thanks.

Of course there is a choice. This is a discussion, not meant to just bash facebook. I do use it, but sometimes sites just want your info and can suck my internet cock.

[marketsmart]

this post makes you sound like an attention whore, but we should still go bowling..

we can use my ball....

[seeme]

I have started seeing big facebook like signs in shop windows

[Babaganoosh]

Bravo.

I absolutely despise the social movement on the internet. Your inane opinion on some news story means absolutely nothing. I truly couldn't care less what you're having for breakfast, your relationship status, what your kid did today, or where you checked in last.

Get over yourselves. You just aren't that interesting.

Do something more meaningful with all of that spare time. Go out and actually have a full life instead of telling everyone how wonderful/terrible your life is.

[sojproductions]

the mans got a good point! it's started to get on my tits, i do have a fb account but just dumped most of the people on it, far too annoying

[CaptainHowdy]

[L-Pink]

Never had a "look at me" account on myspace/facebook, never will.

[bronco67]

I feel you. I don't have a Facebook or Twitter account, and sometimes I can't sign in to something because I'm not part of that club. I'm also getting tired of seeing dipshits opinions on everything. Even reading a simple article on a news site, you look below(and I know I don't have to read it) but there's a ton of comments from wannabe critics and know-it-alls that degenerates into a super ugly flame war within a few posts. I'm actually scared for humanity when I think about the level of immaturity and social ineptitude of net denizens.

Yes. Thanks.

I admit to having a FB account. I moved 2,000 miles away from all my family. A cousin came through town and turned me onto it, I had no idea so much of my family was on there. Now couple years later I am back in touch with all sorts of family I would NEVER have ever talked to again. LOL. It's kind of cool. Really, I don't like a lot of them enough to go visit but facebook is okay. And then I had a kid. So my updates are about the kid, to my family, some old friends. It is OKAY. lol. I find use for it in my life. I hate phones.

But really, I worry (seriously) what the internet is going to look like in another ten years! As this faceless form of communication has evolved, so has the attention whore. I just want to KIT with some people, share some pics. I have no desire to whore anything on the net if it isn't paying my bills. lol.

I had a person contact me to order some of my mainstream goods I make. Oh she wanted this and that, custom stuff, blah blah I chatted with her back and forth a bit. Went ahead and did the order without payment knowing I probably would not get paid. I WAS RIGHT. Why? Because this is one of those lonely online people who has a massive internet presence, wants all sorts of attention and I sniffed her out from the beginning. I am like 99% right all the time. lol. She didn't pay me, and now I am not looking forward to contacting her again. She kind of creeps me out. She is on FB all day.

In like ten years, it's going to be crazy. This internet. Fucking sick. The social movement on the internet. Clash of the classes. I should have been a sociologist, but that doesn't pay either.

[marlboroack]

Facebook is owned by Obama and the 7 men.

[O MARINA]

What is up with new X "archive" instead of "delete" messages from the inbox?

[Babaganoosh]

I understand Facebook for people who are actually close (GOOD friends and close family). My parents are halfway across the country. Sometimes I wish we had an easier way to share pics of my son with them but email is good enough.

I get fed up with people who have hundreds of "friends" and then they have to post pictures of the BLT they had for lunch, some pointless picture of their kids (almost always named Emma or Liam) and then whatever garbage they "accomplished" in farmville that day. Let's not forget the stupid comments they made on local news stories that usually go something like this:

"My prayers are with the family."
"Oh my gosh, how terrible."
"I agree."

The sheer volume of inane drivel is what drives me insane. My wife has to be on Facebook all day watching the endless stream of garbage. She loves it and it makes me want to puke. Seriously, read a fucking book.

Since she's one of those self-important types you should post your collection messages where all of her followers can read it. Nothing would horrify someone like that more than being called a deadbeat in front of her adoring fans.

[Chosen]

Fuck Facebook

No, because I want her MONEY. lol.

Unfortunately FB isn't GFY, where you can be your true asshole self and call people out. And still make $.

Even if she never pays me, which I think maybe she will when she has the money, she already spammed me to her entire friends list. WIN.

The good part is attention whores have their place, just like the trolls here.

MAD VIEWS. and then profit. I enjoy the challenge of making complex systems of anything work. And that includes working the trolls and whores even on fb.

I'm still disturbed at the level of stupidity people are lowering themselves to though. Blame youtube and now fiverr paying these people for it.

[tommy5tone]

There are few things worse than being out for dinner or shopping at the grocery store and the friend you are with "check-ins" saying you are somewhere with them. It could be the most annoying thing in the world to me right now. If I wanted people to know where I was at all times I would get the tracker chip that my dog has in case he runs away.

[cherrylula]

Yeah I don't get that check in shit. It could be useful in some situations, but really we all have text messages now too. Maybe if you're a celebrity and want people to stalk you. lol

I didn't mean posting something like "Hey cunt, how about you pay your fucking bills?"

Maybe something like "I can't seem to get in touch with you about that unpaid invoice. Call me or email me when you get a chance." I'd post something like that without hesitation.

[JamesGw]

You should make a resistance.

[dyna mo]

retweeting this thread now.

well yeah, I guess I could do that huh. lol.

I'll just remind her, and spam my shit on her wall. Assuming she just forgot, and isn't really some flaky broke attention whore (which I already know she is but playing dumb is fun lol).

ok I'll let you guys know how this goes. LOL

[neak]

Unwarrented self-importance.

[cherrylula]

Ok, reminder spammed on her wall. LET'S SEE WHAT HAPPENS NOW. hah

I have a video I randomly uploaded to YouTube that became SLIGHTLY viral and has maybe a half million views?

I just got a check from Google for $500.

They can't tag you unless you have allowed it.

Well done. Link? Or what was it a video of?

[cherrylula]

ah I got baddog in here, now the trolls will show up! lol

Yeah that's awesome jimmy. Really, the viral thing is where it's at if you can nail it. Yet what people think is funny is sometimes a mystery, and unexpected.

[Tom_PM]

One of my brothers tagged lots of family photos with our real names. Never asked if anyone cared. Oh well. I almost never log into my account, but I do once in a while to keep it from being closed for non use or whatever they might do. It's kind of funny because while my telephone hasn't rang in years from anyone in my family, when I randomly log into facebook I see people have asked me questions for months. I only hope if something actually important comes up, they'll actually contact me instead of the internet at large.

[nico-t]

Social networks are the perfect business plan to collect as much personal data as possible from fools who give it to them for free.

The fools are people who think they are the most important and interesting person for other people. But everyone on there thinks they are. That makes a social network a network of people, all completely self absorbed, not giving a fuck about anyone but themselves.
So why the fuck are they sharing it with everybody! Dumb fucks.

[CyberHustler]

In 2014 check this thread... a company that nobody knows about right now will be the thing for everybody on the web. You'll get laughed at for still dealing with facebook.

[cherrylula]

I've already been on facebook 4 years.... gonna have to up that date to like 2020.

I have family members that do that, sometimes. lol.

This thread makes you look like an attention whore.

[baddog]

Social networks are here to stay. Might as well embrace them. Word of mouth to the 10th power.

[PiracyPitbull]

They're here to stay for sure and I'm useless at playing that particular social game .

It's probably due to my disorder which is an incredibly low threshold for dumb, which is principally all I see on social networks.

[kichi]

I FUCKING HATE FACEBOOK. I try to get people to delete their accounts. I tell them their life will improve like mine did.

Facebook is like an answering machine with never ending messages.

WHO THE FUCK WANTS THAT?

So you get home from work. you check your email, your texts, your voicemail, your real mail, and now i gotta check my fucking facebook account? NO THANKS.

It was just another thing that kept me on the grid. I want as far off that fucking grid as possible.

We'll see...

I remember the aol hometown, black planet/migenete, sconex, and myspace phases very well.

I feel the only social networks here to stay are forums because they're mostly targeted to a specific group of people. I believe the big mainstream ones will keep blowing up then simmering down and shifting in popularity until the end of time.

[cherrylula]

ok so next morning. lol

I posted a reminder about what she ordered on her wall. No reply, I know she saw it lol.

I guess I'll just add that I make jewelry, chick stuff. So that's what she ordered. In her messsages to me, in between all the ass blowing she did about how she loves my designs, she also asked me if I would tell her my SUPPLIER. lol. And well that's a dumb question cause you can buy jewelry supplies all over the fucking net. srsly.

So guess what she is doing now. I figure she is making sure my message scrolls off her wall, by LIKING jewelry supply pages. LOL. This bitch isn't gonna pay me, I figured, and I am right she is a psycho cunt. And even if she found every little piece I used to make her order, it would cost her way more than just paying me. I love this part. hah

Good thing it's not my personal facebook huh. lol. Fucking stalking crazy bitch!

watch, the internet will be all these psycho motherfuckers in another ten years, and the rest of us will divide into something else. I PREDICT. because I cannot exist with people like that. Waste of pixels. Watch and see.

People left myspace cause of the psychos. Same will happen with FB. TOO MUCH SPAMMY SHIT. its on.

Aside from this thread, there isn't a single person I know that I could discuss this topic with (well except Fletch and he hears me everyday lol), other than here. WEBMASTERS get what I mean. That is why I made this thread.

and your comment makes you look like an asshole, so there.

Seriously, I still miss rockline. AOL's music messaging section. I would STILL post there. haha

But people are sheep, and want something new. So yeah, we'll see.

I just know unless they are porting all of your facebook shit, I'm not building another account like my main one. No fucking way, no time for that shit and it's taken me 4 years to find my family/friends, like 150 of them.

Funny you say that about forums though, all I see is them slowing/dying because people are on social networks. Maybe this is just the beginning. I don't have time for much at all though, most don't. except the fucking freak broke bums home all day making fake orders lol

luckily nothing important to anyone is based on your opinion

it's like few buddies of mine, need to take pics of everything to put on facebook with 500 fake friends...
