Besides the hype, besides the technical fuckups of NASDAQ, besides the overvaluation and offering too many shares during their IPO, I think the reason Facebook’s stock is failing as much as it is right now is that people have come to realize that Everybody’s Favorite Social Network is just too obnoxious, intrusive, and data-scrapingly assholish in the way it treats everyone from its most ardent users to, sadly, people on third-party platforms like, I dunno, TUMBLR, that perhaps want nothing at all to do with the privacy black hole that is Mark Zuckerberg’s dickishness incarnate but wake up and log on to find THIS UTTER BULLSHIT.
I go on Tumblr to be on Tumblr, Tumblr. Please leave the shitty Facebook tactics to Facebook.
Cosigned.
Indeed. Twitter’s like my mouth, always firing off stupid shit. Tumblr’s like my brain, a constant waterfall of pop culture and fandom stuff falling through it all the time. Facebook is like… my parents, I mostly just remind it I’m still alive but I wouldn’t let it know everything I’ve said or everything that goes through my brain, because if I did it would probably get back to some asshole I used to know in school who’s now raising his kids to be bigger assholes, or a relative I won’t see until I’m sitting next to them at a funeral.
“Facebook is like… my parents, I mostly just remind it I’m still alive but I wouldn’t let it know everything I’ve said or everything that goes through my brain”
That is probably the most accurate description of Facebook ever. XD
