Good evening world! I hope this blog finds you in good health and high spirits. As you can see, I’m here to vent about something that really grinds my gears: people complaining about social network sites on those sites! Let me preface this by saying that I have no problem with anybody saying what’s on their mind. The freedom of speech and expression is something that I hold very near and dear to my heart. But some people either need to shut up or shut up when it comes to complaining about social network sites.
We’ve all seen this before: you sign on to Facebook or Twitter and you see someone talking about how much they hate the site and they’re gonna close their account. Personally, I think these people are full of shit and I tend to laugh relentlessly at them whenever I see those posts/tweets. And the reason I laugh is because as much as they complain, you see them back online the next day! So who are they fooling?
Now, I understand some of the issues people have with social networks: its too much drama and bullshit, too many people pretending to be something they’re not, etc. My response to that is look in the mirror to see who’s at fault for what you see. Let me explain that…
The beautiful (and hideous) thing about social networks is the fact that you can mold your experience to fit you. You don’t want to interact with a person? You don’t have to. Don’t like a certain feature? Don’t use it (with the exception of the Timeline on Facebook, that’s pretty much mandatory or will be soon). So I never really understand why people have so many complaints.
That’s pretty much all I’ve got for now, just wanted to get that off of my chest quick. So until next time, peace and love…
