I'm on my phone right now so I can't post an example but I started to notice that probably about 50% of my newsfeed is people sharing and liking pictures that have lame ass quotes. What gives?

[Hilbert]

You have lame friends.

[Weenerz]

Because people are sheep to anything popular.

[Harry Potter]

Because people are annoying.

[echoshifting]

Because people are

I don't know

something bad

[strafer]

Because Carpe Diem.

[spiderman123]

Ppl can post what they want, its their facebook. I don't both with it unless it's really offensive and ignorant.

[bjork]

because tumblr, simple.

[salva]

Because Carpe Diem.

This Yolo shit sure is annoying!

[Rash]

I've actually noticed this too. No doubt this is the new thing.

But yeah, it's mostly my lame friends who do it.

[DirkDiggler]

Facebook is reverting back to My Space , inch by inch .

Lame friends, lame aunts, uncles and cousins

[LanceVance]

Attention seekers

[echoshifting]

I must say I VASTLY prefer it to the diminishing trend of "If you have a great Mom copy this post to your wall!!"-type bullshit

Your like a year and a half late noticing this. No offense intended OP. I cannot stand FB anymore it's a god damn meme regurgitator full of memes that are like 4 years old. And inspirational quotes can fuck off. Want inspiration? Message me I am full of it.

Comes from 4 chan, to reddit , to 9gag, to FB. The cycle of death. Slap NeoGAF somewhere in the middle but that doesn't really matter because GAF is fucking legit.

Or "change your photo to something pink to help cure cancer!"

[Rash]

Facebook is becoming more of a shit hole by the day. A lot of people get addicted to it and abuse it.

It's not merely about being in a community anymore. It's about constantly broadcasting yourself and your thoughts. Hell, sometimes they're not even original thoughts, but rather copied-and-pasted "status shuffle" bullshit. And don't get me started on people who post pictures of fucking FOOD.

"Hey everyone, look at me! I got a soup and salad at Panera Bread. See for yourself!"

No one cares what you had for lunch, you self-indulgent asshat.

I can't remember this being a trend a year ago.

[Az]

People are new to memes/funny pix. Had a friend text me all excited about this new Awkward Penguin the other day.

[Ken]

If you have friends that do nothing but post those pictures, just block their posts from showing up on your news feed. It's what I've done to people just discovering memes or have nothing but Linkin Park lyrics to say.

[joelseph]

Them god damn fake eCards about being a bitchy woman with 80+ replies along the lines "BWHWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA GURL SO TRUE LOL TXKS FOR THE LAUGHS LOLOL"

[agrajag]

Facebook is turning into Myspace circa 2005.

I laughed because it's true.

:I

[Hot Coldman]

Because Carpe Diem.

[Wiseblade]

IT'S JUST THAT PEOPLE POST THIS CRAP ON THEIR FACEBOOK WALL INSTEAD OF SENDING CHAIN EMAILS TO THEIR FRIENDS. I ACTUALLY PREFER IT THIS WAY, EASIER TO IGNORE.

[Raiden]

Because if you're on Neogaf you're ahead of everything. Regular FB users catch up way too late.

Man, I feel so 1337 compared to the peasants in my facebook.

[Apoc87]

The pictures in the background usually have nothing to do with the quote.

[Riggs]

The constant use of memes on FB? I've been noticing it well over a year, maybe my friends are just extra shitty who knows. Insipirational quotes too.

[btkadams]

yeah, this shit has been pissing me off for months. all of them are such cheesy quotes you'd expect to see on the walls of kindergarten classrooms or dentist offices. why are 20-somethings so into them? you're not intellectual or deep because you can post 1000 pictures that contain the same self-obsessed, relationship-related quote in slightly different words.

UGHHHHH

[Eidan]

At least the "This is what my friends/parents/teachers/spouse think I do. This is what I really do" meme died off. THAT was obnoxious.

[LyleLanley]

Insert misattributed quote here.

[echoshifting]

All right

[Not a Jellyfish]

Facebook is reverting back to My Space , inch by inch .

Pretty much, stupid shit like this is going to cause the user base to begin to drop.

[Goya]

why cant we just get along bro

[FairyD]

Pretty much, stupid shit like this is going to cause the user base to begin to drop.

Isn't that everything?

[Riggs]

Pretty much, stupid shit like this is going to cause the user base to begin to drop.

Already has for me, I would estimate more then 70% of the shit I see are old memes/inspirational quotes. Just got tired of seeing it, have no been on FB in 3 months at least.

[Raitosaito]

It's mostly tumblr, and that weirdo kid hplyrikz.

[DirkDiggler]

I was on the Google + bandwagon for quite a while. None of my friends would switch over , so that kept me in Facebook Hell :(

[LyleLanley]

All right

Perfect.

[Sunflower]

I made some fake inspirational quotes. Planning on making 'slightly altered' Bible verses for people to unthinkingly share and say "LOVE IT" underneath, see if that shit won't go viral.

[Copernicus]

You have to seize the day you only live once in a lifetime opportunities don't come knocking twice the pain three times the love them like it's your last moment of truth.

[Meier]

What can I say... YOLO.

[Mama Robotnik]

Why don't people understand that Facebook is what you make it. Your Facebook friends didn't magically approve themselves for gods sake.

[maxxpower]

Because you have facebook.

[Izick]

You have lame friends.

.

[CorvoSol]

I blame the Brazilians. Because it's all my Brazilian friends who are the ones doing this on FB.

Well, they do it more than the American ones, anyway.

[Tron 2.0]

Because sometimes you just have to reach for the stars because puppies and rain is the angel's way of telling you YOLO.

[Uncle]

Didn't we have a similar thread a while ago? Someone posted those awesome pictures that looked like them, there was a baby or some flowers or wedding rings, and when you viewed the full size pictures the text was something random, like properties of aluminium or something. Sadly I didn't save any.

[JokerOfSpades]

The pictures in the background usually have nothing to do with the quote.

Oh?
