TH-cam is my last form of social media. I left all other platforms for peace of mind years ago & have no regrets. Belonging to them empowers people like Zuckerberg.
As a member of the media, social media has become ingrained as part of marketing departments… We all must be on the sites… I finally went away from X, but it’s really hard to remain relevant and not be on some of these sites. It’s what we call a conundrum.
I left all social media over 4 years ago. My Facebook account is still there but is deactivated. I just wanted to keep some photos and videos. Leaving social media was the best thing I have done for my mental health. They were a source of extra anxiety for me, I'm not sure why. For a short time, I would pick up my phone occasionally to check, then realise that there was nothing there to check. Haven't missed it for a second.
remember that facebook account that you haven't logged into for 4 years that just accumulates random happy birthday messages? Today is a good day to finally delete it.
"It all goes back to being stuffed in the locker," said Tim Miller in what I regard as a brilliant analysis of the tech boyos like Zuckerberg and Musk.
It is so funny that you posted this. I’ve never been a a Twitter user and my Facebook has pretty much dropped off completely. I don’t even have notifications alerting me anymore. It’s just kind of a useless app.
I’ve never used Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Reddit. They always seemed like a time suck. I’m around too many people who are always looking at their screens. They don’t know what’s going on around them.
It seems like a lot of these billionaires are a bunch of babies that cry and give up their lunch money whenever anybody even pushes them or says anything critical about them. I've moved from Facebook to Bluesky and never looked back.
What if you don't know how to trade any of these? I mean, I see your point. Some people have the money and are willing to invest. But the problem is where to.
Hey dude, this is 2025. People who aren't even traders make money from the crypto and forex markets and moreover there are already financial analysts and trading experts(PhDs) who have shelled out theories and ideas for years on how bit coin technically grows
Yes true, I have been in touch with a brokerage Advisor. With an initial starting reserve of $75k, my advisor chooses the entry and exit commands for my portfolio, which has grown to approximately $550k.

@ZER0-- I was on TH-cam before Facebook and then I joined the mass Exodus from it around 2016,coincidentally the same year I ditched the NFL because of what they did to Colin Kaepernick.
While studying about Nazi Germany in high school, I could not fathom how one person could convince so many to hate and kill. I also was so thankful I live in the United States because such a thing could never happen here. I think of our brave men and women who gave their lives for us and our allies. And, here we are. So glad my parents aren’t here to see this.
Perhaps the problem was American hubris. We aren’t any better than any other country and certainly bad things can happen here. Our great experiment depended on the people-the people changed their minds.
Great point! I'm still at a loss as to where J.D. Vance sits on anti-trust. Gail Slater, nominated head of anti-trust division of DOJ and former Vance aid, appears sympathetic to big tech anti-trust (just like Biden's Lina Khan) yet J.D. Vance is backed by Peter Thiel, a big tech billionaire. How is this square circled? Is it a public / private position situation? Is it as simple as anti-trust cases being dismissed through "pay-to-play"?
I got a Facebook slap on the wrist for telling the story of a LAPD officer pulling a gun on my 17 YO son and his friend when they were changing a tire. His friend is black, my son is white. It’s an actual experience in our family. The boys both had BMWs owned by their family. They were not reported stolen. There are successful black dads who can buy nice BMWs. WTF.
Submission is how it starts. I am going to predict where this will end. It’s not difficult because you only need to look at Russia. It ends with CEO’s and owners exiting through windows.
Meta moderation is a joke.

I never relied on Facebook for truth or facts. Same with Twitter. As soon as Musk took over Twitter, I bailed. Not that I was a Twitter influencer. Maybe I should bail from Facebook, too. What benefit is it?

Dumping your Facebook account so you don’t see a bunch of birthday pictures is no issue however realize that you may be blocked from accessing certain businesses that have Facebook as their sole online presence
First off, the term “surrender monkey” is absolutely hilarious. Yes, Zuck is spineless, now with the GOP, same as he was for the Democrats during the pandemic/BLM days. So why are you suddenly mad?
Not: "If we do have another FTX style collapse of some kind" It's "WHEN we have another FTX style of collapse." There will be a Crypto collapse worse than the foreclosure crisis of 2008 if the big banks get involved.

What's the point of having money if you have to bow down to a clown dictator?
In order to keep his money
That’s the point, you get more money.
And when you're already worth more than Dementia Don.
There’s huge wealth power. Then there’s finger on the nuke button / head of the USA military power. Those are not the same.

I deleted Facebook years ago, but i will now be deleting Instagram and Threads. I think Zuk is utterly spineless.
I’ve never used Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or Reddit. They always seemed like a time suck. I’m around too many people who are always looking at their screens. They don’t know what’s going on around them.
I've never seen such wimpy behavior from some of the riches people in the world. WTF?!?
the wimpy behavior is because they don't want to left out of the game
They remind me of the nerdy kid with adolescent acne at a middle school dance who is too shy to ask a girl to dance.
Always been a wimp so why not continue
In their defense, they're dealing with a guy who thinks he can just rename the Gulf of Mexico!?
Wimpy behavior is calling some one fascist or a Nazi for months ..then meeting with them .
Bye bye Facebook.
Do they know he will die and their legacy as traitors and cowards will bring shame to their families?
You must be older as I am. They think they'll live forever.
