Facebook observations

I’m opposed to pretty much all “can I get a million likes”, or “share this for a school project” type posts whether the hook is a soldier or a disabled kid or anything else.

If you can’t get the likes/shares organically on the merit of the post then too bad.

Hear hear! I hope your posts gets >n/2 likes, where n is the GoA population of unique posters.

Oh and don’t even get me started on the ones “for breast cancer awareness”.

If there’s a human being on the planet over the age of 9 who is unaware that breast cancer is a thing that exists, it’s a pretty safe bet that person is not on Facebook.

Okay, well I won’t get you started, but now you’ve got me started…“everyone” thinks they’re being so cheeky & original when they name their breast walk team “[FITB] for boobs” Ha ha I said “boobs”! SERENITY NOW!

Huh, people get 1M likes? And here I was pleased to get 90+ for a post.

Of course… most of my posts are friends-only, so I guess it would be impossible for me to hit 1M.

i assume they make money somehow on the “can i get a million likes” posts. not sure how, but it seems to be the motivation there.

I think I’ve posted this before, but still…

Some agent/broker has a sponsored ad for insurance that pays you back (not gonna give him free advertising here). I have no clue if it’s return of premium, endowment insurance, use your CSV as collateral for a bank loan, viatical, etc. Clicking on his website does not make the situation any clearer to me. :roll_eyes: :confused:

That’s how the sell critical illness insurance in Canada, with rop.
If you get cancer, you get 100k.. if you don’t, you get all your money back. You can’t really lose.
Then they show the initial term premiums and don’t mention that you have to keep the term policy through all the monster renewal premiums when you’re 60 or you get nothing back.

CI + RoP + monster renewal premiums is for suckers.

Why do you think it sells so well?

I’m gonna assume this thread includes instagram too (facebook’s sibling).

I keep getting pictures of dead children from the holocaust to depress me more about life. ya, i know that i look at these things and that’s why instagram keeps giving me more, but still!

makes me hate humanity. we haven’t really gotten any better than we were in the 40’s. maybe the treatment of jews has gotten better, but other groups, not so much.

we really need a rolling-eyes like on facebook. i want to call someone a dumbass, but i hold back. that would be a nice passive aggressive way to do it.

The irony is in that outfit she’s probably cooking and you can use algebra to help with recipes!

sad thing is, this person makes a LOT more money than i do. knowing that algebra is used in everyday life apparently doesn’t get one rich.

If you live in Bermuda, you don’t even have to do that!

A propos of nothing, I only follow the Instagram account of my wife and son. My wife is a super-duper good cook and she posts sometimes the meals she makes. My son only has like three total posts and two stories.

I keep my followers at zero becasue I do not post any content there. When ever someone followed me, I would just remove them. Now I just have the account private, and my only follower is my wife. She got butt-hurt when I removed her, so she’s added back.
