I hate facebook if I want to talk to my family or friends I send them a text or call them, all it does is expose your personal life.

I had a Facebook account about 5 years ago. It lasted about 3 months. I have no use for it. And no use for the people who have a use for it.

I wouldn't care at all if facebook died. if the internet was in the same state as it was in, lets say... 2004..? well I would post a shit ton of more pictures online

something about the future open society just horrifies me.

algoryhythms should be stopped in their whole entirety, the planet should evolve in other ways than selling recycle junk all over again. Final fantasy universe FTW!!

I have only 7 FB friends, and I don't use it, I only use to follow the Original Molly Hatchet band... (They are my 7 friends actually, ex-members).

I had a bunch in the past, like Funk51 and others, but I hate FB and I see Funk and friends online at all the iron sites... Got really annoying with peoples religious and political views.

Not on Facebook. Joined in 2006, never posted, I hate people generally and kept getting nailed by being tagged in photos with other women. Quit it in 2009, never since visited it.

Whenever my gf shows me something on it all I see are people trying to sell shit or posting pics of food or them pretending to have a good night/love their partner.

If I do market research I like to get paid for it.

Dude, I would LOVE it if Facebook permanently crashed. 95% of the population under 30 years old would have mental breakdowns within hours. It would resemble 28 Days Later. There would be mass suicides. A LOT of people checking themselves into hospitals for treatment of withdrawal like symptoms.

I would be LAUGHING the whole fucking time realizing that the minority of the population would have seen this coming and would be immune to it.

Geez, like facebook is some kind of possession or a "thing" that controls you. Get the fuck out of the middle ages before it's too late (at least in a sense of your mind/point of view).

There are two reasons people doesn't have FB - they're old or they hate the fact they can't project a "better" life than their "friends". Some exceptions too, but these are the main two.

I've got a FB account mainly because it makes it easier to organize events and gatherings.
Of course, only around 5% of my "friends" on FB are genuine friends, the rest are just people I know with the odd schmoe here and there. :D

We will never go back now.

Who the fucking hell cares about being noticed???? I can live a trillion years and NEVER EVER understand this need to be adored by complete fucking strangers. I make over 200k a year in salary, the business I invested in as silent partner cleared over 26k this month in profit and by next December will have turnover in access of two million. I donate to 3 animal charities and just bought a 2013 SUV. I also bought 3 plots in a new development with my business partners and those will throw off a million in two years

Do I mention any of this to anyone? Not even to my parents.  No, because I totally,  truly and utterly don't give a fuck if anyone knows I'm on the up and up. And if I lose it all by overreaching myself,  nobody will know either.

Attention whores. Have-nothing whores. Average, instantly forgettable people use it to attention whore. I understood Facebook in 2007. It makes no sense in 2014

could the self marketing in facebook today be a modern day version of animal kingdom where all the animals are shouting out to get noticed by the alpha females and alpha males. Like a modern day version of spreading your pheromone and getting noticed.

 That's what animals do right? Me me me me me, I'm the boss, I'm the boss, I'm so great, look at me, I want pussy, look at my new finger nails even though my tits make 80% of the picture, like me, want me... look at these other 30 pictures I uploaded even though I don't get money from it, but I have a chance to get noticed by people and make them want me and want to be me, yeah.... that's animal behavior, we aren't so evolved.

people still go berserk for an activity where few people are chasing a ball, and feel like it's necessary to them to take part in the killing afterwards.

I remember my gf showed me some posts her "friend" (some snide bitch I never trusted) made along the lines of "My boyfriend got me this or that, I love him so much blah blah blah". All the time you'd see the same shit, as if she was trying to convince herself. Once, my girlfriend said I could do more etc etc (I'm not on FB as I said).

I made the point that we were happy together and knew it, so why tell people? That's looking for validation because you don't know if you are happy. Anyway, long story short,  that girl got engaged, 2 months before wedding she found out fiance was fucking a waitress in bar where they both worked. She broke up with him, he has subsequently become a fast bastard and got waitress pregnant and she over dieted (fear she couldn't get another man I guess).

Same thing is happening all over FB. This is the life I want YOU to believe I have. Don't YOU think I am happy? Keep trying to convince yourself....

I got the fat part  :D

but man that's all too normal, my ex showed me what her friends do in their facebooks. Everyone going out, everyone hyping up. And it's important to post pictures of before partying, while partying and after partying. They even posted pictures taken in a train, after 4'am where she was puking inside a macdonalds bag.

everything has to be posted. this same chick I'm telling you about has her profile picture changed every other moment.

and it's sad that people surround themselves by people only to seem socially accepted, it's not good for you.

I understand my gf uses FB to communicate with her family, they are in Brazil she is in Ireland with me, but aside from that I think she hates it.

I find it amazing when you see guys openly selling steroids on FB. Maybe they think posting in Portuguese makes it ok  ???

No this guy is in Dublin selling in Ireland. He assumes (probably rightly so) it won't be picked up by cops. It is widespread.

Her ex "friend" is a bikini competitor. She took gear (winstrol etc) to compete and sells clothes and supplements with a dash of lies added to every order. I only know she took gear cos my mate was her "guru". Can't stand liars like that.

Don't forget the market research. I stopped using it before ads existed.

Remember when youtube didn't have ads? Ah, the old days.

I think adds on YT is a good thing. People are making good money and putting forth the effort to make good video's. If they didn't make any money there wouldn't be shit on it. I have no problem waiting 5 seconds to 'skip add' for a 20 minute informative video, or 5 minutes of laughing my ass off.
