Amen to that.

People won't leave FB. They are horrible if you are a conservative and they crush on them while letting left leaning people say some awful hateful things. I don't post much on it anymore. I am mainly on it as the wife and daughter are, even thought the wife posts less than me.

Google+ is shutting down, Mewe sucks, I don't like twitter or Reddit. Twitter has a lot of childish people and both seem very impersonal to me.

Then there is pinterest. God awful site where you have to click twice to view content which is like to be an clickbait site, or useless how to, or not what you thought it would be. Or how to make junk crap that no one wants. A girls site for how to keep her BF, or husband, busy all weekend building crap she can't and he doesn't want.  -C-

News flash, Instagram is owned by FB. So what ever BS they pull on FB plan on the same Shyt on there.

PEARL DRUMS:
Politics and religion don't fit in anywhere else, so don't try to put them in a public forum like FB. Its a basic life rule we all should know by now.

Parnell:
The design of “likes” on digital media is psychologically twisted.  I’d gotten caught up in it and quit about a year and half ago.  It’s deliberate manipulation, not unlike the tobacco industry, imo.

I had to erase all my posts one by one and “delete” the account, but from what I understand, it’s not actually gone...more like dormant.  It never fully goes away.  Terrible.

Pappy:
Never been on it, never seen the need to know every time some friend uses the bathroom or goes out to Wally world. I have friends that can't go 5 minutes without checking their phone,pretty annoying to watch. ::)  I just don't get it. PA is about the only social media I do, heck I don't even like group text. ;) :) When folks come down to work on a bow or other projects and want me to help them, I tell them to turn them off or I just walk away. :)
