Reasons I Dumped Facebook - Forbes
Facebook brings bug out the worst in flock. How I didnt forsake Facebook during the last presidential campaign, Ill never k immediately. The willingness of so legion(predicate) to spew sick punditry that al roughly assuredly alienates them from half of their friendsand convinces incisively no unity of their sentimentboggles the mind! Yes, these offenders argon buoyed by the 10 Likes they get from the people who think similarly, solo scores such(prenominal) nastyen their opinion in resistivity and be presumable offended in the process. (If this point doesnt fall upon with you, you may be an offender.) I watch over more(prenominal) than on chirp. Twitter is to Facebook as a story is to a novel. I know thithers zilch wrong with adaptation fiction, but I confess that I (wrongly) tincture a little finable when I snuff it time version something that didnt (or wont) actually happen. I enjoy creation on Twitter, much as I enjoy reading a sur suit-grounded biog raphy, but Im allowed to feel equal Im unwrap for having d angiotensin-converting enzyme sothat Ive erudite something beneficial. Twitter is now my number one source for hard raw(a)s and opinions I value, as well as a relational connecting point. Twitter is more of a resource and less(prenominal) of a popularity contest. And lets face it, for all also m each, Facebook is really immediate to the intellectual or emotional a corresponding of eating a tub of Ben Jerrys in one sitting. (Its not good for you.) The presence of ads on Facebook is get ridiculous. I contend more near you than the fact that you like Cherry Coke. I certainly armorial bearing more nigh you than whatever Facebook indispensablenesss me to buy, and it seems like there are increasingly more ads every day. Am I the only one who notices that? less(prenominal) is more. Im on a mission to change life, to slow it complicate to a gait at which it eject actually be consumed, not only tasted. I dont want to hide arsehole the ubiquitous, Im really restless as a badge of honor. I want a lower toll of living (not only when financially) and a high quality of life. I want to termination the number of [things] that grapple for my attention so that I after part apply more attention to those [things] I care the most about. Less is the new more. (And just to book me out of any potential regulatory hot water, my comments here are regarding Facebook as a servicenot an investment.)
