  1. I got off Facebook six years ago and it’s the best decision I’ve ever taken in my life!

  2. Honestly, the world would be such a better place if social media didn’t even exist.
    Period.

    • Wutangkilla1 Faggots who know when to use the word “your” and when to use “you’re” which is a contraction of “you are” which is what you meant to say but lacked the knowledge to express yourself properly.

  3. I’ve never had a Facebook acct. i take pride in that. I brag about it sometimes ..

    • I logged off Facebook 2.5 years ago, and never went back.

      Id never join social media again.

    • Me too.Never seen the point of having one even though many people tried.If u know me,my phone no should be enough!

    • For years my family and friends would try and get me on FB like I was really missing out on something,nowadays they all say I was the smart one avoiding that bs. Other than a few random comments on YT social media can kiss my A.

  4. My wife: what do you want for breakfast
    Me: cheese omelette
    YouTube : Top three ways to make omelettes

    • Maxx Barzz smh lol they won’t understand because critical thinking isn’t common these daysv

    • Lol omg yes. I mentioned Rihanna on a conversation. A specific song. It was on my YouTube feed in minutes. Our phones are listening!!!!

    • @MonasticSolace
      Google has been caught violating privacy. Even if you turn something off they can bypass it without your knowledge.

    • @Maxx Barzz
      Apple makes $0 a year from user data. They aren’t “claiming” anything kiddo, they have ZERO interests in selling or exploiting user data for 3rd parties.

      This is as stupid as you saying “Because McDonalds claims to not sell tires doesn’t mean they aren’t doing it”.

      So uneducated.

    • @Beats Beats so educate me… Where did you find out this information..? From Apple?? And you believe them?? So just because they don’t make buck selling information you really think… Like really think they arent just taking information and giving it away.. At the very least analyzing it?? Bt if you do… hey that’s awesome.

  5. Havent had a facebook in a little over 5 years now. I dont think its healthy to know what everyone is doing at all times. We miss out on the key elements of missing someone or hearing stories from friends and family in person.

  6. So we’re worried about Facebook but yet we carry around a tracking device in our pocket🤔🙄

    • I get what you’re saying, but what’s the alternative? There’s no payphones anymore and most people will not let you use their phone…even if it’s a landline. It sucks, but what else can we do? I’m being serious, I’d really like to know.

    • If you have a license … you are already in the system. If you have a social security number, a job, a house ,a car…….
      Facebook really doesn’t make it easier. If you want or don’t want Facebook it’s your choice , no need for the paranoia. There’s no where to hide… if “ they” really wanted you.

  7. Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and Snapchat I quit in 2014 COLD TURKEY.

    The real challenge is YouTube.

    • @Owen Cook Not sure how I feel about that. I suppose theres sime merit to that, but it’s also problematic because people should be exposed to different information, yet, be capable of discerning the mis-information from the real information.

    • @DarkSideSixOfficial Either the news is fake, or the news is real. It’s better to hear no news than it is to hear fake news

    • The alternatives are – Newpipe , SnapTube and there are others you just have to search.

  8. People are really on here saying how long they’ve been off of Facebook. Scary how it’s sounding like a drug.

    • 6 years, I saw the warnings. And Facebook users aren’t the curious, learning type.
      Willful ignorance demanding a crisis to learn better is required from them.

    • @Francesca Powell yes, it’s the ability to like and share/repost(twitter). It gives a dopamine similar to drugs whenever people virtue signal. It becomes addicting posting for reposts/shares and they found out it radicalized people.

  9. When a respectful presence in the tech industry tells you to be worried. BE WORRIED!

  10. I’m 27 and never had a FB account or instagram or snap or any other social media! I don’t follow people period!

    • @Embaixada da Resistência no her point is that she likes to go out and meet new people in the real world and not fantasy land like you lol what a stupid comment

    • @Jane Do he doesn’t go out and lives in the basement because actual real people think he’s a weirdo lol

  11. It’s kinda sad how you’re labeled weird or a psychopath for not having social media… smh

    • Who the hell would call you weird or psycho for wanting to have real live face to face interactions with others, Damn Well of the least you are not crazy like them, Definitely something to smile about knowing you are more sane than those toy’s.

    • Straight Out of Camera I agree Telepathy is how life should be BUT people are to dumbed down to live it.

    • @0 0 I never signed up for Facebook, etc. The reason is I don’t give a f*** what people think of me. I do care what I think of me, however.

  12. Here’s a weird one: Has anybody besides me ever been THINKING of something and it pop up as a suggestion in ur phone?🙋🏿‍♀️😲

    • Watch the deathbed confession video of Boyd Bushmans..its on here..He was the General that was at Roswell..He spilled everything right before he died..The way those aliens that were still alive spoke through the mind and not the mouth..Hence we have been trying to figure out that method since and believe me..Its being tested on us all now..No hats here folks..research it yourselves..Alot of whistleblowers out there with nothing to gain..some even lost their lives.

  13. Walk into any restaurant… families are no longer having conversations… everyone on their phones.

    • yung tooli a little nerdy white kid calling himself “yung” tooli…🤦🏾‍♂️

    • I see that all the time. And recently I went camping and most people with the cell in front of them instead of looking at the mountains, rivers and lakes.

    • I work in a restaurant and I see it all the time. I have gone to a table to get an order and sometimes they don’t even hear me greet them, cause they’re doing something on their phones. I have actually walked away from tables that do that.

  14. If you’re not making money from being on facebook, you shouldnt be on there!

  15. Smartphones are by far the worst spying devices . They know : Your Voice , Your Face , Your Fingerprint , Your Retina , Your Location not to mention they have all your pictures and videos .

  16. This is insane..people here are talking about themselves getting off facebook like it was cocaine…” yeah man I stop snorting 4 months ago and I feel great”.

  17. A few months ago I was joking with a friend about cat food over the phone and I NEVER EVER talk about cats. Later I start seeing ads for cat food on FB. I don’t own cats and I don’t ever talk about cats. They’re definitely listening

    • Even when you are texting about items or talking about items on the phone, the phones pick up on things and you get inundated with ads for said items.

    • It’s worse than that .I was discussing what kind of pizza i was going to buy at a local pizza shop and when I got there they already had it made for me .instant ordering they know everything .

  18. Get ride of all social media. And lets get out and met people again. YouTube is the only one I get on now.
