quote:

Facebook: "It's dead to us. Facebook is something we all got in middle school because it was cool but now is seen as an awkward family dinner party we can't really leave. It's weird and can even be annoying to have Facebook at times. That being said, if you don't have Facebook, that's even more weird and annoying."

quote:

Instagram: "Everything about the application makes it less commercialized and more focused on the content, meaning more teens are inclined to visit it. When we do visit the application it is a much more pleasant experience so we are more inclined to Like and interact with the posts more."

quote:

Twitter: "To be honest, a lot of us simply do not understand the point of Twitter."

quote:

Snapchat: "Snapchat has a lot less social pressure attached to it compared to every other popular social media network out there. This is what makes it so addicting and liberating. If I don't get any likes on my Instagram photo or Facebook post within 15 minutes you can sure bet I'll delete it. Snapchat isn't like that at all and really focuses on creating the Story of a day in your life, not some filtered/altered/handpicked highlight. It's the real you."

Pretty spot on except for deleting posts without likes.

Holy insecurity batman.



I do know a girl my age (26) that hired an online company to give her likes on Instagram. Not kidding.

I read that last night. Sounded way too eloquent to have been written by a teenager. Also, get off my lawn.

I do think Snapchat is fricking genius. I wish all my friends were on there and not Facebook.

although I think Mark Z. is on another planet with his business acumen and computer skills.

It just feels like we are breeding a generation to crave public approval even more than a standard insecure teenager. I don't like it one bit. I don't understand the point of Instagram or snapchat. I use FB to see pics of friends kids, which I do care about, and to see important life events.

My roommate does this shite. He will sometimes ask me to go like his facebook status. I refuse every single time and half the time he ends up deleting it because it doesn't get enough likes.

We've always done that. But instead of seeking the approval of the townsfolk or fellow church members, they want it on a larger scale
