Or feel like quitting it? Makes me wish it were the early 90’s again. (Funny how I’m saying this while on the internet)...if I didn’t have to do answer my email for work, I’d be more inclined to just walk away from technology.

Social media? Absolutely!

Tech? Literally can't. Vital to my business.

Never started so “quitting” was easy.

If you think you can or can’t do it, you’re right.

I use a fake Facebook to join groups and use it to log in to places I don’t want my real email to be seen nor used. I have over 100 friends on it too

Quitting fb was the most liberating thing I've done in years. It was like carrying a huge stone around with me daily.

I never understand these comments, how do you people use social media to feel this way?
And this is coming from someone who deleted facebook 7 years ago and has never used instagram or snapchat. I don't miss it, but I also don't feel like there was this huge weight lifted off my shoulders.

Seven years ago fb didn't send subscribers dozens of emails and texts weekly with fake friend requests. poke notices, and embedded infogarbage based on preference logarithms. Seven years ago fb didn't sell subscriber demographics to subterranean political and culture moles with subversive motives.

Maybe seven years ago you people were so fricking savvy you got out before fb became the oppressive thought and culture purveyor it is today.

I’d be thrilled to go back to pre-technology.

I have all the social media bullshite. Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, Instagram, all of them. I hardly use them. I mostly post pics of my dogs on Instagram. Other than that, I don’t post shite. And the more I see people’s stupidity on social media, the less I log on

Old school and less technology is the way to go

That said Facebook and social media is great for connecting with people, growing business's, getting ideas for wealth generation, and creating motivation for making life more adventurous. Furthering my personal brand for selling myself to potential jobs and women is primarily why I use social media

In conclusion, yours and the other bums on here degrading social media live extremely boring lives
