Yesterday was a shocking day for me, had to dig through my email to find the details of my Fakebook account.
Don't ask me WHY?.... basically there were no other takers and it had to be done.
Literally feeling sick while logging in, remembering all the bickering and backstabbing all the frustrated shallow little people that killed it for me back a few years ago when I was on there using a "nick" as I like to call a fake user name..... prior to opening up one in my name, it just made me feel nauseous. No exaggerations, I was not feeling well.
However, today I tried to dig up details about the "Fanpage Likes" and found that they can be purchased, both bot likes and organic likes. Which to me kind of felt like it was useless even trying to figure anything out about it when people are buying "Likes" for everything and anything on Fakebook.
So as I watched videos about it all, even from some of the video youtube stars who are here on Steemit, not to name anyone in particular. Had a little voice in mead say the words "KILL ME PLEASE" over and over again during this ordeal. If were to go back to doing my old job, I wouldn't ask questions over and over again, I would put one of these videos on for a day or two with a repeat button, then walk in and they would spill their guts in no time!
Again, i asked myself, "WHAT IS THE POINT TO ALL THIS?", apart from having a new tool to torture someone without physically touching them!
What do those "Likes" mean to anyone anymore?
It has obviously become a market for people who are competing for fake "attention", nothing more than this.
I could understand a teen movie star or pop star wanting a few million likes on their fanpage. I guess that would be something that could make sense, as their likes, no matter how fake are an "in thing" with the crowd the generation of kids that suffer from complexities and frustrations such as "OMG my bestie didn't like my photo on Fakebook".
What I can not understand is why on earth any serious business person would want to spend effort and time on Fakebook fanpage likes, when there are so many other job specific sites out there, where people who are in a certain field/line of work get together and communicate without the "fake likes" and all the baggage that tags along with the "frustrations" of Fakebook.
So, after an entire day of watching videos, surfing sites, reading about how to get more "Likes" on a social network that has a manifesto and agenda that puts all the political ideologies to shame, after hours of verbal diarrhea, hours or regurgitated crap that ensured me a severe case of exploding stomach ulcers and constipation for the next few months, I finally stopped. No I obviously didn't commit suicide, although that would have been an easy way out, I just stopped.
Man, what a relief.
Not the fact that I stopped reading up on and listening to the endless crap about Fakebook Likes. It was the fact that I realized just how pointless it was.
No matter what anyone may think, but there is no point for "Fakebook Likes", not for me or anyone else who doesn't give a flying hoot (not to say the F word) about how many "Likes" a certain business venture has on Fakebook.
I mean, seriously!
Who on this earth would base a serious business decision upon the number of Fakebook Likes they have on a Fakebook Fanpage?
Come on man, seriously, think about it!
Maybe I'm wrong about this, maybe the mindless people who would invest their money based upon the number of likes a Fakebook fanpage has are the core to some serious business ventures out there.
They are important to and for Fakebook, after all, Zucki makes his billions off these zombies that he controls!
But seriously, would YOU base any of your down to earth, real life, business investments upon the number of "Likes" a Fakebook fanpage has?
So, luckily for me, I managed to survive this day, will spend a fortune on mineral water, laxatives and every tablet known to man kind for stomach ulcers, but it was worth it.
I have confirmed that I have ZERO in common with Fakebook and that crowd there.
Curiosity killed the cat, but this LEO is alive and kicking, might need to wear bum tampons for a while, until I recover from the consequences but I got through it.
The next time anyone suggests that a Fakebook fanpage is needed for something serious, all I am going to do is order an Iron Maiden from ACME with a message that reads > "It's less painful and there will be less blood afterwards, trust me!"
Love it. I can honestly say that I am a Fakebook free man!
Thanks for reading.
