Press for mess

Thursday, January 5

Let's rant. Social networks.

Oh, I see you've made yourself breakfast. Unless it's something along the lines of chocolate covered chicken with cereal bits sprinkled on top I don't really care about your mediocre meal. Looks like another person broke their bones again, brace yourselves for the incoming spam of pictures of their impairment. Which leads to an unnecessary flooding of my news feed. Which shouldn't even be called a news feed anymore. I used to think the news was important, with all the bullshit they spout nowadays, that idea of news-to-actually-give-a-fuck-about has gone with it. All I see on there now is your constant spamming of reposting 9gag posts that seem to humor you. If I wanted to see 9gag posts I would have gone to 9gag myself. You don't have to presume your doing everyone a favor by telling them about something they've probably already seen. Since 9gag has become such a trend amongst the people I know. Visiting the site and laughing at their jokes has lost some of its appeal ever since it got so mainstream. If you really want to steal someone's soul, there's an art to it; don't go around reposting on facebook. That's just annoying.

You might say I'm a hypocrite for having my own facebook, twitter and foursquare account. You may be right, or I could tell you that besides foursquare (which I rarely ever use because it's apparently a waste of effort), I only use facebook and twitter to make it easier for people to keep in touch with me. I go on facebook to check the groups I'm associated with for updates. I don't look at my news feed because there's too much irrelevant nonsense there that it kind of wastes my time to try and keep updated.

I don't want to know what you're doing for breakfast unless you intend to invite me. I don't want to know what you think of a 9gag posts else I would have asked you myself. I don't want to see how good your photography skills are at taking pictures of the sunset or your dinner plate. What annoys me most about Facebook and Twitter is that stupid people think that what they have to say is worth listening to just because someone else liked what they said. GET THE FUCK OUT! Things like tumblr annoy the fuck out of me, I mean, if people put just as much effort into writing a book, they'd have written something useful instead of making a picture that supposedly means something.

There's a lot more where all that came from, I just am not really bothered to say much about it anymore. I just wish communication could be made easier without the use of such methods which make people think they're smarter than they really are.
