5. You forgot 5.

5. You are not ok with being a product for a service you are not paying for, and are capable of maintaining social contacts by one of the many thousands of other methods available.

Now go back and keep helping that ad revenue churn over little goy, there are no shekels to be made from you here.

>giving your info to a corporation to datamine and sell it
Dont be a cuck

>>58645398
>im this mad
Anon when are you finally going to grow up?

>>58645401
There ARE several different methods but why use a method of contact that certain people only use but not almost everyone?

You have what? Skype? Email? Telegram?
OK have fun getting people on those any more

>>58645409
Again, you don't HAVE to give them any of that on anything, you can bullshit that all.

>>58645376
I use social media. I use Facebook only to communicate with people and sometimes call my friends. It's also helpful since we've had a college group there. I don't really give any other info, I don't even have a picture of myself.
4chan is also social media but idiots will try to deny this, so is discord.

>>58645418
Discord said the next thing they want to do is add a profile and a wall. It's only a matter of time.

And yeah that's basically what I was saying but /g/ thinks that outside of this sudo social media is a horrible thing.

You can have both, you just have to learn to balance them both

>>58645376

Or I just don't like it for different reasons? I am somewhat introverted as a person and I use the internet as escapism, a place to get away from people I know.

I have about half a dozen truly close friends and we all have group messaging on WhatsApp/Hangouts, I get on with more or less everyone at my work, and I have a public facing role and I enjoy it for the most part. I just do not need it in my life.

>>58645417
>Anon when are you finally going to grow up?
says the retard using facebook

>>58645429
At least you're mature enough to say that vs insulting it like a child

>>58645433
>calls me a retard
>literally has almost 0 friends and is a giant introverted virgin loser who doesn't know how to social interact with humans
So you finally see a person IRL, you insult them, they punch you, you insult them again. See where I'm going jackass? So explain how I'm a retard cause I use social media while you sit there and think it's for retards. Go on.

>>58645452

Well, you are insulting people throughout your entire thread, and opened the thread saying that those who don't use certain social media platforms are either stupid, have no friends, autistic or immature.

>>58645462
very true. I'm doing so to knock /g/ down a peg with their ego.

I think this board needs it with their "superior" OS and their expensive ass headphones and other shit that no one knows about cause they are giant hipster (they can be as bad as /mu/) would you not agree that /g/ has been too much some times?

It's more about a reality check.

>>58645398
Other than
>didn't read anything of this
fpbp

>>58645475
Well, good luck. Ambitious to change a hive mind and unwritten etiquette of a board with one thread on social media.

>>58645376
I use social media to learn of events. I use email, text and voice calls (ya know, the reason phones have sim cards to begin with?) for everything else. If you're so fucking tedious and pedantic that you wont use services that are basically available by default to every human being, then I prolly don't want you at my party anyway.

>>58645417
>There ARE several different methods but why use a method of contact that certain people only use but not almost everyone?
Why use a service which actively sells your data and damn near demands access to all aspects of your life when you can just.. not?

Is this what this thread is all about? You are everything you have described in OP if your arguments are anything to go by. They are all based on the social construct of "not into popular thing = outcast weirdo" as opposed to any technical or practical advantages.

You're just projecting, aren't you? You access it and you're you're mad everyone else can. You don't even see just.. not.. as an option.

>>58645452
>So you finally see a person IRL, you insult them, they punch you, you insult them again.
Social media IS for retards,you immense bullshitting retard. If you want to socialize,go the fuck outside.

>>58645475
Oh, you are projecting. I didn't see this post.

Lol u are 1 sad fgt u sad fgt.

>>58645515
>sad fgt u sad fgt.
sez da sad fagut

>>58645526
Not an argument.

>>58645500
You're mad anon. You should consider calming down.

This is an autistic person gets when they are wrong.

>>58645515
proj·ect
Estimate or forecast (something) on the basis of present trends.

Hmmm, nope. I'm clearly not. So try again there anon. How so?
>insulting me instead of having an adult conversation

>>58645533
>You're mad anon. You should consider calming down.
Oh look,you're defending yourself.

How pathetic.

>>58645376
>The only way it knows anything about you is if it you tell them things.
Not true in Facebook's case. It has systems that infer things based on other things you've typed. Stallman's anti-Facebook page has plenty of sources for this. My friend didn't actually like the Japanese McDonald's page, but Facebook wants me to think he did - all because he's accessed Facebook from a McDonald's Wifi network before.

>of course you'll get the ads targeted at you
Why "of course?" We put this information in because we want to make it easy for other users of the service to get to know and contact us, not because we want the service to sell us stuff. Which brings me to my next point:

>why is "data mining" a bad thing?
Because the fact that the service is hoarding this information and selling it to whomever it pleases is extremely unnerving. The potential for misuse of this power is staggering.

>they don't give a fuck what you're into
Advertisers do. The government does. And even if nobody did, the fact that havoc can be wreaked the moment someone does is enough reason for many of us to abandon ship.

>the "normies" are etc etc etc
Facebook is not a default aspect of life, nor should it ever be. Few people in my life right now use it for anything more than communication - and even then, that's only because it's the only thing that's convenient for and used by everyone. Rather than use it for posting vapid nonsense about what they're doing, they do more stuff.

I do hope I was able to explain why some of us stay away from social media, and I also hope you can someday get over your apparent anger toward random Internet dwellers for their personal choices that affect you in absolutely no way.

>So I came to the conclusion about something /g/
Sorry I stopped reading after that.

>>58645376
Social media is biggest waste of time that ever existed.
Not even mmorpgs come close.
And a lot of people cant even do proper communication anymore, i have seen parties where people would just sit there the whole time and checking their smartphone every minute.

>>58645417
Just use email and sms you fucking autist.

>>58645566
Funny how OP didn't even respond to this. Oh well.

>>58645427
>sudo social media
why do you need to do social media as superuser?

>>58645376
Yes to all 4.

Skype works with people using FB messenger, you RETARD.

Yes, yes, and yes. Also I am happy.

You sound like someone who hadn't experienced life before Facebook existed, it is not a necessity to stay in contact with people you like. Also, there are many different social medias to use that aren't as bloated, why not use twitter or instant messenger instead for example? That is enough to contact people one would care about.

If you are talking from a business perspective, sure use as many social channels as possible since you are the one trying to grab the shekels.

One more thing about data mining, it's worth quite a lot why would I give it away for free when you can actually turn it into money? I'd rather be a whore than a sleazy slut

So I came to the conclusion about something /g/

The only reason(s) you aren't a respectable person is because:

1. you don't know how to be respectable
2. you have the emotional aspect of a 16 year old saying "HURR DURR YOU CAN'T TELL ME WHAT TO DO"
3. you don't really have any self-respect, so what's the point of being respectable
4. you're likely a stupid

>>58645376
haha nobody is reading your blogpost

nice waste of time dude (and so is Facebook)
