Support NeoGAF

[Snowman Prophet of Doom]

I don't really care if people are on Facebook playing the games a whole bunch; my mom plays Frontierville and Cityville quite a lot these days, but she still reads, watches TV, talks to her friends/family, etc. Myself, I often just leave it open in a separate tab while I'm browsing GAF or doing homework or whatever.

It just comes across as super douchey. It's amazing that some people think they are better off than someone else because they don't use Facebook. It doesn't make you unique, more intelligent or superior in any way at all whatsoever. Would you like it if someone tried to tell you what you should be doing with your time?

Making an observation about someone you are close too or care about is not the same thing as telling them what to do, but that doesn't even matter because even in general terms it's like your not allowed to have an opinion about it or something. I mean if I make a negative statement about Facebook, I'm not insulting all Facebook users, I'm simply making a statement about something that has become a big part of pop culture. If you don't agree with that opinion that's fine, but no need to take it so seriously.

 

[Dice]

I'm about ready to drop it because I hate the new format that much. I didn't care about previous changes but this one sucks so much and I refused to change mine to the new version, yet now they went and forced it on me.

 

[Ferga]

That guy looks creepy as fuck...

and the finger licking... it's not one of those little finger licks where only a tiny spot of your finger gets wet, he put his tongue out and drags his finger over it.

Most people that write your instead of you're are dumb. I mean, if I make a statement about poor grammar I'm not insulting everyone that uses poor grammar, I'm simply making a statement. I'm fine with people not liking Facebook. I couldn't care less if you like it or not. It's the people that act like they are somehow better than others because they don't use Facebook.

 

[slit]

Most people that write your instead of you're are dumb. I mean, I'm not insulting every person that does it but only the few that do it frequently.

.................and here we go with the touchiness. Thanks for proving my point.

Spin it how you want, but yeah, I'm going to get touchy when someone tries to tell me what I should be doing with my free time. No one likes being told what they should or shouldn't like. Especially when it's something as trivial as Facebook. It's just annoying. You address Facebook users in a condescending manner and wonder why they get touchy. Did you expect them to buy you a beer or something? What it boils down to is the fact that some people like Facebook and some don't. Who am I to tell you that you should use it and who are you to tell me I shouldn't?

 

[reaver18]

heroin addicts dont have computers

right dudde doesn't look good

that video was fucking stupid

 

[Circle T]

Despite the MULTITUDE of negatives using it brings, like many have said before, one of the great things about it is keeping in touch with friends, relatives, etc. So, I did a "splash & dash" through FB a few years ago. I signed up, got in touch with all those people, got their info, and then left after about a year. Now we all have each other's email, phone numbers, Flickr, Vimeo, etc, so staying in contact is readily accessible. It was a win-win for me, really. I have all the info I need to keep in touch with those people, and I don't have to deal with all the baggage that FB brings with it.

 

[ItAintEasyBeinCheesy]

I got some nipple slip action from facebook of a girl i like. Dude can suck my fucking nuts.

 

[Shao Kahn Brewing a Stew]

This actually made me check facebook and reply to a few messages. FEELS GOOD MAN!

Again, criticizing something =/= telling you what you should do with your time. Just because you like it, doesn't mean I'm not allowed to have an opinion about it. If I like a movie that you don't, that doesn't mean I have to get all "huffy puffy" because you criticized it, unless of course you have a child's mentality, then maybe I should hold my tongue. If you get mad at every single criticism, of everything you do or you like, you must be one insecure person.

Yeah, except you were talking about giving your opinion to others who clearly like what you are criticizing an probably couldn't care less what you think about their Internet habits. It would be like me saying I'm not insulting everyone with the screen name slit, but slit is a really dumb screen name.

If you even suggest to someone that they spend too much time on Facebook, they spasm out.

This is the line in your original post that I have a problem with. Again, who are you to tell someone they are spending too much time on Facebook? Are you the Internet police? I have no problem with people criticizing Facebook, everyone is entitled to their own opinion, but why do you feel you are important enough to suggest what someone does in their free time? I can't wait for your crusade against video games because they are a huge waste of time!

Maybe because that's what friends and family do. Are you going to go through your whole life holding your tongue over everything that goes on around you simply because someone might take offense. BTW, I have friends that do tell me video games are a huge waste of time, maybe I should go punch them in the mouth because they don't adore what I do.

If my friends/family want to do something as harmless as mess around on facebook why should I tell them otherwise? I've never seen someone's life ruined by facebook and I'm going to wager you haven't either.

That would be a wager you would lose.........and i'm not kidding. Again, my only point was people are overly sensitive about Facebook. I'm not on some crusade telling everyone who uses Facebook i'm better than them, or that I even care if they use Facebook. Assholes = opinions, you get the idea.

 

[Monocle]

Hate to nitpick, but the finger licking every three seconds really bugged me. It's gross and unsanitary, and the guy looked like he was undressing me with his eyes while he was doing it.

 

[Regulus Tera]

Those abbreviations are older than Facebook.

Sounds like he just discovered the internet.

 

[Nappuccino]

Guy seems kind of like the people he says facebook people are.

Granted, i think his final 5 or so slides are great and on point.

 

[Hasan]

shitty video and shitty attitude. I had facebook like 4 years ago, deleted it and never missed it. I'm not that social but for people who want to keep in touch with people they know, its k. I think everyone realizes its not meant to replace social interactions at all, and you only really have maybe 2 to 3 REAL friends at a time throughout your life anyway.

 

[iamaustrian]

sorry but what a dumbass.

I don't have 800+ friends and I know all my friends personaly and talk to them on regular pace.
Why is it facebook's fault if you are of such low selfesteem that you have to pimp your profile or accept every avarage joe's friend request?

I'm musician and my, oh so personal, data(name etc) and photos of me are on the web since almost a decade. long before Facebook and co. so I dunno why it should bother me at all.

plus: lol @ ppl who think they are not in the www just because they are not on FB.

 

[Speevy]

In 10 years Facebook will be gone and forgotten and something else will exist in its place, it's just a manifestation of our out of control egos and need for constant, instant gratification and contact.

 

[MooSeePoo]

Hehe

 

[Vincent Alexander]

Well, he did tag you after all. I'd close your blinds at night.

 

[seat]

Wow. That was one boring video.

 

[Pristine_Condition]

Yeah Reseil there's a lot of girls I know who check it every 5-10 minutes.

If they're at my house they'll ask to use my computer and I'll basically tell them to fuck off.

Crazy.

You know, at least one of those girls just wanted to use your computer to post "I'm about to give Buckethead the greatest blowjob the world has ever known" but then you had to go and fuck it up, so she left.

 

[antiloop]

Dislike... oh wait we can't dislike on facebook because it would turn people off.

Facebook is made so that you can create your perfect little virtual world. You can block things you don't like and let certain people see only what you want them to see. It creates addiction IMO.

 

[TOP SHOTTA]

Why is this a ten minute video instead of a 400 word post?

Seriously. This is a quite masturbatory bit of emo/viral nonsense that has not convinced me to delete the profile. HD too.

By the way when did this become mandatory and not something about which they'll remind me later?

 

[ElectricBlue187]

The motion graphics designer at Rockstar made me laugh as that's something I'm sure every person does

so is it green screen?

 

[MarkMclovin]

So someone has daddy issues.

 

[Ceres]

I stopped watching after 20 sec. LOL


I was more focused on the guy's face in that time too. I'm guessing it was because of the coke he snorted right before they started filming.

 

[spiderman123]

delete FB account, but make a youtube account?

twitter, youtube, facebook,

etc...

all the same crap no?

:lol

ZOMG ROFLOLOLTROLOLOLOCOPTER

Shot out to Gaf

:lol

edit: who was this ?!

 

[derFeef]

I just think it's hilarious that people get so offended when you put Facebook into any kind of negative connotation. Don't get me wrong, I don't care about Facebook's popularity. If people like it, they like it; if they don't, they don't. I just think people get way too touchy. If you even suggest to someone that they spend too much time on Facebook, they spasm out. It's like you messing with their reality or something.:lol

We have a bingo!

 

[Lunchbox]

fucking hipster going against facebook now

 

[Prine]

Not concerned why others love Facebook, but i don't think its going to benefit my life as much as complicate it. People i know love it, but get into childish shit because of misdirected attention or some other trivial behavior. Especially women (that i know).

Im astounded how they bring up facebook actions when discussing issue's with each other.

 

[Tristam]

This guy is so cool that he probably only sends SNAIL MAIL. (Which, by regular post from South Korea, takes about twenty years to arrive at some international destination.)

It blows my fucking mind.

"yeah but on facebook you..."

 

[big_z]

i find it strange that with tons of overly addicted facebook tards out there this video has so few thumbs down and im guessing most of those thumbs down are from gaffers.

 

[Skilotonn]

The fool looks like an addict with that nasty finger-licking shit, and he's supposed to convince me to quit Facebook, when I don't even use it in the way he's talking about in the first minute, which is where I stopped?

I don't use shit like "lol" anywhere, not on forums, not even in chats, and I never even heard of "foclol" so I guess that says plenty already.

Maybe HE has only 4 friends, but I don't, and I and many of my friends have moved around the world over the past decade, I like having a link to hundreds of them still, thanks.

John Connor ma man what happened to you, you was supposed to be fighting skynet not facebook.

Facebook users consider this video high art.

I don't like the assumption that internet short-hand is somehow destructive to the language or something. That's kinda ignorant.

Facebook is Skynet.

lol is quite possibly the most useful internet-born word in existence. Ignoring it for online chatting is like not allowing yourself to nod to people or say "mhmm" in normal conversation. :lol

 

[MNC]

This guy looks exactly like a guy I have on facebook.
(He's an ex-classmate though )

 

[Kaako]

This hipster...
I don't use facebook as often but I sure as shit not going to close mine cause it hasn't been a bother.

 

[NinjaFridge]

I'm not on facebook but i want to join now just to annoy him.
