Yellow Page social site syndrome, what brings them down.

This new normal, where can pretty much only reach firms, businesses, ext, through either their FB or Twitter account really grosses me out.

This idea that most have succumb to allowing FB and twitter to be the Cartel of all information flow, grosses me out.

And this idea that if you have a FB or twitter or Social media account, that you're 'valid', again is a goofy and reckless notion.

You're anything but safe on those sites, where all your conversations are studied and then marketed and sold to the highest 3,4,5th parties.

And where you don't even control whether or not what you posted gets through or not, where some invisible 'board members' of FB or Twitter ext, decides whether your comment worthy to be seen.

So you send, but it goes nowhere...after I heard that they 'shadow band', that sealed it for me.

Why would I waste hours composing a great piece of writing, just to send it, and no one can see it?

And right and wrong, tasteful, distasteful is totally arbitrary on social media, I mean what's decent to one, could be offensive to another and vice versa.

And if you get political, especially if lean more towards 'common sense survival', then for sure you'll get shadow banned, so what's the point?

But yet millions of people, many whom I use to think were smarter than Myself, continue to run all their information through FB ext...for the world to see, I mean sure they say you can delete this or that, but once they have it, they have it, to be sold and studied by whomever.

Not to mention all the sleaze bag cops that cruise those sites posing as average citizens always trying to set people up, always trying to 'invent' a crime you committed so they can get a raise at their job.

There's nothing more dangerous than a bored cop on duty, cause they're just looking for action, even if they have to 'create that action'.

I've learned this, anyone online who'd rather talk to you through 'back alley methods', is a scammer or a cop, or both in one.

If you can't talk to me on the phone, or in a public forum space for the world to see, than get the F lost.

If you knew off all the behind the scenes 'programs' and stuff that occurs on social media, you'd be shocked.
And how they really don't even want common people interacting with one another anymore, but rather they want you to interact with adds, and bots, and other 'fake' stuff simply designed to steer your money towards this or that product, or designed for you to reveal this and that about yourself so they can sell that information to marketers ect.


I frustrate the hell out of marketers cause I don't follow the typical template of stupidity.

So they've pretty much given up, cause my info pretty much useless to them.

I don't follow no typical social pattern, My patterns and behavior are so out of the mainstream I may as well be invisible.

As such, I'm of no use to anyone, cause all I am is honest and all I do is write.

I was on twitter today for longer than I've been in years, I actually commented on some stuff, followed a few who had followed me.

The lay out of twitter really has changed.

I can't even find how many followers I have, or see who I'm following.

But in the past, twitter followers helped me build views on this site here.

But they're all gone now, so have to start over from scratch.

Social media can be helpful, if you know how to use it I suppose.

Is the social site 'Parlor' a good alternative to twitter?

Here's an article on 'Forbes' about Parlor and how many have already made an exodus from twitter to Parlor, which is like the twitter of old, by allowing arguments to be made and shared, rather than banned.

Twitter should just declare itself a private platform, a publisher, rather than a social media site, there is no more free thought on twitter, none.

Ye, my views on here may go down for a while, but so what, this blog forum is measured in seasons, years, not 'hits' per day, and I'll simply find other mediums in which to share forum links with, but twitter, my gosh, the people in charge of that place are like political monsters.
No debate allowed, either agree with the monster or have your posts muted, that's scary stuff, like living under some oppressive regime or something.

The thing is advertisers waste millions on me every year, when they pay for my info, and think I'll buy their product based on 'study of habits', or which sites they think they may see me on.

I don't buy none of their sh_t!, ever.

I'm so unlike others that marketing doesn't work on me, ever.

Just like Russia or China can't influence who I vote for, nor can bots figure out what I'm more likely to buy based on internet habits, ever.

I'm just an off the grid type of person with that type of mindset I suppose, and that's the way I like it cause I always feel free.

I can't even predict what I'm going to do from day to day, so how can some stupid 'bot'.

I mean what is FB?

You get on there, no interaction, just 'friend suggestions'...what the hell is that?

Most identities on there probably fake anyways, I mean in 2020 who actually uploads real data about themselves?

You'd have to be a fool if you do do so.
