Author Topic: [YouTube] How Facebook is Stealing Billions of Views by Kurzgesagt  (Read 1899 times)

They're actually called In a Nutshell now, Kurzgesagt was their previous name

Ok let me elaborate why I hate this mongering giant piece of stuff corporation that's slowly swallowing more and more people.

First off, its everywhere, that loving pisses me off very much, I hate going to websites and seeing that stupid button everywhere, aside from that many websites don't even use proper websites, they use a facebook page for a website and that's really loving stupid, don't even get me started on the websites that don't allow a local account and force you to sign in with this stuff, that's pure cancer.

Second is the worst, this is the reason it absolutely 100% deserves a rightful place in hell, back then I used to hang out with people and family all the time, we used to have meet-ups at parks or go to places, family reunions , then came along big ol facebook and all of a sudden people never wanted to hang out, family members (cousins, uncles, aunts) all claimed to be "busy" when in reality they sit around a tablet or laptop and stay on there all day looking for drama or random stuff wasting time.

If thats not enough then... heres my stuffty backstory about how I lost people I used to consider "Friends"

I hate talking about this but I lost all of my friendships because of facebook, it all happened one day out of nowehere, a huge fight over me not having an account, I told them how I felt about the way they where spending their time and what facebook was doing to them and it just escalated from there, It got to the point where fist where thrown and I knew I was no longer a friend, and basically from that fight everything was ruined, it ended with "Well if you don't get an account then you can't hang out with us anymore" and I said "Fine, keep ruining your lives".

Ever since then I haven't hung out with anybody or talked, I used to hang out with my cousins but they have been sucked into this horror now as well, its very hard for me to hang out with people now as I kind of just sank into a Anti-social life now, the only people who I hang out with is my brother, mom, and less often my dad who is slowly being ruined by facebook as well, he prefers to ignore us now and instead spends his day playing candy crush and browsing facebook. My brother doesn't use it and doesn't like it and my Mom doesn't use it because she considers it a waste of time.

It really sucks since I am un-enployed right now, my brother gets home at three, and both my parents work till late I usually spend all day alone doing chores, I have to admit the whole "college"  I have been telling people is a loving lie, I actually have strong depression and that makes it hard for me to use the computer, I'm still waiting for my highschool diploma to arrive and thats means I can't even start college until next year.

TLDR; My hate for facebook is personal, it caused me too loose firends and made my family interact less (with the exception of brother,mom,and dad), life is stuffty right now, with depression, and my HS diploma not getting here caused me a year of college and unemployment.

If your going to tell me that facebook isn't to blame for this stuff, regardless how many times you may want to argue with me about it, its not going to change my mind, sorry if you don't understand.

that really sounds like you just want something other than yourself to blame for the problems that you caused

The service is popular and has several APIs which means developers don't have to rewrite code themselves. It's significantly easier to allow Facebook's servers/code handle user registration/login than have to store and deal with that information yourself, especially in terms of data security.

That's a problem with the people around you, and I unfortunately don't believe that's the problem at all. I think they're coincidental events at best.

I'm just shocked and amazed at how you are blaming this website because you made the decision to ignore the fact that your friends wanted to communicate with you more and that Facebook is an easy platform to do it through.

I got a job through Facebook. I've had great relationships through Facebook. Facebook allows me to freely communicate with my friends who are the only people helping me through my daily trawl of stuff.

Don't blame a service that you don't understand or use. You sound exactly like every single one of those "nobody is talking to each other on the bus" morons who assume that the tool has a power over people, when in fact it's that people are finding something more enjoyable and useful that what they were previously doing.

Why did I even bother posting here then? You wanted to know so now you know, but this is not one of those moments I had many friends and they where all torn away from me as soon as this piece of stuff started getting popular, If they wanted to communicate with me than why didn't they call me? Why would they prefer talking through a screen over face to face interactions? You can't go to the movies with people through a screen, you can't go watch a baseball game through a screen, its a bullstuff excuse.

More enjoyable? More like more money in zuckerberg's pockets, you don't need an account in life to hang out with people but they had that choice a very long time ago.
You seem to be one of those people that love finding ways to defend facebook, but guess what, a stuff service is a stuff service, and this one sucks bullstuff by the millions, op posted a video of why its bullstuff and you blindly seem to ignore it.

Mc Job understands that the things you see on Facebook is directly correlated with who you CHOOSE to associate with. If you have stuff friends, then you get stuff posts. It's pretty loving simple.

The sketchy way that Facebook services ads and counts views is in no way related to your friends growing more distant after high school. You need to grow up and stop blaming a website for your social problems, problems that are not unique to you and existed well before social media or even the Internet.

Why do I even bother... I said it twice, I had many "friends" and all of them chose a side, this argument is pointless, I stated that on my huge post, those things already happened and they cannot be undone, I choose to continue to despise facebook for the reason that it continues to tear my family apart, if he can't get that through his head than fine, I just wanted to point out why I hated such a thing.

This happens every damn time I enter a thread related to facebook, I feel it would be better next time to not even mention a thing or ignore the thread all together, I have no loving clue why I thought this time would go any different, but clearly it was a mistake, because even if I put the words in giant text with bold they will be ignored.

There it is again, now in bold.

And it continues...

Going to say it clearly now:

I hate facebook and nothing is going to change that.

at least, until you grow up

The ignorance is very strong with this one.

Given the way you are responding to people ZERØ, and barging in with an unrelated topic in the first place, I'm guessing the reasons your friends are breaking away is because you're immature and unpleasant to be around.

I like how you just assume Facebook is what everyone is doing instead of making get-togethers. Maybe you should just blame the Internet? I think there's a lot more to offer to put people's time aside on the whole of the Internet than just Facebook. Like, I don't understand how someone could spend a whole day on Facebook. Man, let alone even a whole hour. You ever think that maybe they actually just got more busy? You ever even have the foresight to ask? It's pretty pathetic to blame all your problems on a website.

idk whether you're trying to say that you're already grown, or that growing up won't make you less angsty
but either way, when you grow up you'll realize that you were wrong

unless you're trying to say something that is neither of those things. I can't tell, because of how unclear you're being
the result is probably going to be the same in any case

You sound just like them.

I really don't feel like getting banned again for defending my posts over my hate for facebook again, I am going to try and refrain from being an starfish and just talk like a normal person.

I have had very stuffty social life, many "fake friends" that used me, I have never fit in anywhere, in my eyes facebook is to blame for some friendships that where lost, others where just things not working out.

I'll give you guys your word, but stop trying to argue with me there's no point to it, I will always dislike facebook for my own reasons, if you don't like them there's a little word here called an opinion and that's mine.

Good luck finding anyone that doesnt have facebook.
I have a few friends that dont have accounts, but thats compared to the hundreds of other people i know that do.
IM cooooool
I dont have an account
