Yeah yeah yeah.....(whatever), so I hate Facebook and I ain't shitting
Yes, I'm still on Facebook, but I don't use it nearly as much as I have in the past. And it's mostly because of how the social network has evolved and what people do on it.
According to Wikipedia, facebook
has been ranked as the number one social networking website with over 400 million users worldwide.
Facebook is quite incredible, I
sometimes wonder how I would keep in touch with my friends from school.Unlike myspace, facebook is more targeted to adults. Yet, these adults start to act and feel as if they are in high school again.
Back to why I hate Facebook
it's just an endless high
school reunion that only the cool kids
attend.
I am, and was never, a cool kid. Oh, I hung around with the cool kids, just on the fringes, because I didn't live in the right part of town. I was never quite pretty enough, nor accomplished enough, to actually be a part of the cool kids clique.

Facebook keeps changing
its privacy settings.
It seems that every time we get
used to the current privacy
settings on Facebook, it decides
to switch things up.
We all know by now that
Facebook shares your personal
information (anonymously) with
advertisers so that they can
effectively target you. But
Facebook has tended to change
its privacy settings in a way that
requires you to opt out if you
want to keep your privacy.

People can see when you've read their messages.
Similar to iMessage, it's possible
to see when someone has read
your messages on Facebook. But
this is slightly problematic
because it essentially forces you
to respond on the spot, and if
you don't, it can lead to some
very awkward encounters.

There's way too much
sponsored content.
It seems that every time I visit
Facebook, there's a sponsored
post that is prominently placed at
the top of my news feed. And
that seems to be because
Facebook is now replacing free
content with paid content, Nick
Bilton of The New York Times
recently reported.Why doesn't Facebook then introduce premium accounts for some of us who those adverts

Facebook and excessive
inspirational quotes!
Some people may enjoy sappy and uplifting inspirational quotes but call it "inspirational quote overload" when it gets out of hand. Once in awhile it can be cute and sends a positive message, but it gets sickening day after day. Why can't people come up with something original on their
own? Enough already!

Reality Show Clip Time
Having a facebook profile is like
having your own personal reality
show. And Yes, because we can only
perceive the world via our own senses,
we instinctively think the world
revolves around us and that everyone
else cares. Of course that fact that
everyone uses facebook to look into
other peoples lives just confirms this
theory and starts a horrible vortex of
look at me, ok, look at me, ok, look at
me.
In truth your not important and no one
really cares about who you are or
what you are doing. According to
Myma Deup, statistics show that each
day the average persons facebook
profile is visited by .2 people, or 1.4
people per week. Most of these hits
are due to inadvertantly clicking on
your name instead of the link you
posted to the picture of your dog (and
NO one wanted to see that either).

Facebook Chat
Everytime you decide to go check your
profile you must consider this.
Everyone of your "friends" will know
you online and will thus decide that
this means you are free to talk. Mind
you they don't txt or call or e-mail or
just show up on your doorstep. If you
have avoided using facebook chat, it is
like AIM except that you don't get to
use a cool s/n and your conversation
will constantly cease because facebook
thinks your no longer online. And if
you decide to use the internet for
something other then facebook your
conversation will either end or will go
to another tab where your "friend" will
send 3million messages all consisting
of the same concept as "I know you
online because your green dot is lit up
stop ignoring me, I hate you."

Stalking
If you have had the privilege of
waiting for somewhere to vacate a
computer so you can finish your
biology report (it's due in 53-minutes),
then you have had the opportunity to
watch facebook serve it's only purpose,
letting everyone look at pictures of
people they know, kinda know, or flat
out don't know at all. So facebook is
essentially cyber people watching,
except instead of just watching a
person walk by you get to follow them
for, well, the past three years of their
life.
You can see their graduation pictures,
mock their wedding and even use
Paint to draw a mustache on their
child. Of course why you would care to
spend half a day staring at pictures of
some girl in your econ 220 class is
beyond my scope of socoligical
training, but I I think it has something to do with.......

Facebook games!
These games
turn seemingly normal people into
crazy farmers or they suddenly join
the mafia. I don't even understand
Farmville and Mafia Wars. Why do
people become obsessed with
fertilizing crops and farming chickens
on their facebook page? If you look
at their wall, it is just filled with
farming lingo such as, Carrie is
working hard on a nursery barn or
just found a baby calf. Now there is
another game called sorority life.
What does saving hamsters from a
research lab have to do with
sororities or facebook? It doesn't
even make sense and I just don't get it.
AND FOR THE GRAND FINALE, Facebook annoyed me so much abt these two that I........
