Fuck Facebook

I can already hear some of you in a whiny little ninny voice saying…

If you don’t like Facebook why are you on here? (as you continue to scroll past this post without even bothering to read it)

I am relatively new to the world of Facebook. It wasn’t until 2017 that I set up an account.

I never wanted to have Facebook because…

Facebook Is For Weenies

Facebook is where cackling hens go to gossip and virtue signal.

I Am A Content Creator

I set up a Facebook account for much the same reason that musicians set up Myspace accounts back in the day.

I came aboard to disseminate my original content. If it wasn’t for this blog you would not see me on here. Actually most of my Facebook “friends” will not see this because I have been unfollowed by most of them. Ironically all of them friend requested me to begin with.

People Don’t like To Read

I have received tons of reactions for silly little one liner jokes that I have posted off the top of my head while being virtually ignored for content that took me all day to write.

In the world of infinite scrolling people don’t want to stop and take the time to read anything more than a few lines. Continuous scrolling provides an ebb and flow of endorphin gratification.

I have noticed a decline in the amount of time I spend reading books and writing since spending more time on social media and YouTube bingeing. I should take a social media fast but I won’t because…

I’m A troll

Cringe-worthy posts inspire me to create content. They give me endless material to react to.

People Have Meme Jealousy

On Columbus Day I wrote a short post expressing my disdain for the holiday. A few of the same people who scrolled past it without reacting posted memes from celebrities saying the same thing.

The nerve of me to post with my own narrative without featuring a picture of a celebrity above the caption. To some people original content is viewed as competition against “their” memes. I put their in quotes because…

Memes Are For People Who Can’t Express Themselves

That is not to say I would never share a meme or react to one. But people who incessantly crave likes from memes are puppets. Imagine a new stand up comedian on stage for the first time reciting a well-known sketch from George Carlin or Eddie Murphy and expecting the audience to give him/her props for someone else’s material. The audience would probably throw tomatoes on stage like they did to Fozzie the Bear after he told bad jokes.

Facebook Is Big Brother

Facebook sensors free speech in the supposed name of social justice and political correctness. People are put in Facebook jail or their accounts are even deleted for not complying with the state narrative. Though I’ve been trying, it hasn’t happened to me yet.

Facebook is constantly listening and taking pictures without your knowledge or consent.

What Am I Gonna Do About It?

Nothing

I’m gonna continue to do as I do. I’m not gonna change the world or change anybody’s mind. After all I’m A Hypocrite.

If you haven’t continued to scroll and you’re still with me. As always…
