FB bubble has burst

is it me or has the Facebook bubble burst for anybody else....don't get me wrong it's good to be in touch with friends who are far away but the flipping corparate/retail tat that's creeping in is really getting to me....I turn it on...things you may like Sainsburys,Boots,ASDA...Mr Cuthberts Rubber and Latex Emporium....oh not the last one...I like Hayburner on it and my Favband news but aaarrrggghhh, it's really starting to grate me.....

 

Agreed I foolishly upgraded my FB iphone app and its cr@p!Full of ads all the time annoying. Dont want to use it anymore

 

Your right, it is pants.
I only use it for stalking nowadays.

 

Never done it, never will.

 

I think it's worse since using kindle we had for Christmas too...your right adverts pop up first....pants that's what it is...Bring back Friends Reunited.

 

i only use it to abuse friends and to laugh at people who put crap statuses on!

 

I hate all the rubbiah posts like if I get 10000 likes I can have blah blah blah. Also the constant mundane rubbish about peoples kids I have never even met.
Beautiful baby boy just ate sprouts for dinner. Who cares? Drives me mad but I still cant stop going on it.

 

Suggested posts, they are annoying.

 

Pics of parents hurting their kids!
We know it happens. Liking a picture won't stop it!
String up the parents, don't stick it Facebook.

 

I haven't got any friends so it's just adverts when I log in. Lol.

That's why I come here, I can pretend I have friends.

 

Ill be your mate if you bring the home brew.

 

Must admit I used to use FB loads but when I was off work and trying to get myself back on my feet as the doctors said the only way my brain can adapt to the new signals being sent following the damage caused is to get on with it and the brain will sort it all out, so thats what i did and among other trips out the house we managed one night to met a couple of friends for a nice meal out!

One of our friends (bless em) tagged us at the restaurant they were over the moon that I was on the road to recovery that they had to share it & my manager although not himself on FB mentioned it when I returned to work a week or so later! Someone had obviously told him I was out and about! He got quite a gob full I can tell ya but he didn't tell me who it was that had been stirring it!

I often post my status as having a dump just to annoy the ones who live on it, oh then there's the ones that preach to you how rubbish it is and how it ruins your life etc. etc. but they're the first ones to mention something you have written or a pic that you put on, lol!

I did what everyone does and added loads of peeps from school etc. that I've not seen or spoken to for 25 years & when I thought about it I never spoke to them back then so they soon got deleted!

We do have some family that we don't see that often (out of choice) but we post pics of the kids etc. so I can say I've done my bit lol!

I hate the peeps who put random comments directed at others without actually mentioning their names, Mrs Robo's brother has done it a couple of times to us although I didn't even notice until something was mentioned in a row about a year later & I thought the little turd he was talking about us! I deleted him, lol...

Life's too short to get stressed about stuff on FB and if they can't be bothered to drive the 5 minutes & tell me to my face then they ain't worth the bother!

I say as long as you use it for what ever you want & ensure all your privacy settings are sorted then go for it, if you don't like it then don't use it, simples!

 

I always bring the homebrew but generally people shy away from it. Perhaps memory's of dads homebrew. Lol

 

People who leave vague updates & wait for others to ask what's wrong.

 

Or when asked say it doesnt matter, they dont want to say or i'll text you. Either dont post anything or share it all so us nosey parkers can read it!

 

when I do go on its smashing to get my Hayburner pictures Ned puts on....I just skip to those now..lol.

 

When I had a FB account - I found I was constantly blocking people's status updates and getting more and more annoyed with it all.

So one day - I pulled the plug and have been a million times happier ever since.

 

Most of my friends, like myself, barely use it. A conversation took years. I gave up and just ring them now like the old days.

 

I just talk/post crap same as I do anywhere.

 

Pretty much the same here. Had an account for about 6 months but pulled the plug about 18 months ago because I got fed up with the endless mundane drivel like "I have a headache" or "I dont feel like going to work" etc.
