We all have them on our facebook feed...or perhaps, you are these people.

People who post things like or share them.

http://i.imgur.com/6aQ6atr.jpg

Or

"If you love really love Jesus you will type Amen"

So, which is worst?

They person originally making these posts? Or the people sharing them?

 
"People" is the correct answer.

Sometimes I think Zuck probably looks and says, "look at this ####. This is NOT what I had in mind".

 
A few of my friends are gun nuts or right wingers who we know will post this stuff, it's just one of those things we look past.

But, it seems more of my friends are posting these types of posts, or the "if you love your mom, share this post!" or "money will come to you if you share this post!" crap more often. It's almost enough for me to stop looking, close my account, or block those people. These shares are worse.

The increasingly annoying ones are....

Let's see who my "real" friends are.

Don't share this post but copy and paste it to your feed instead.

Maybe some of you guys are right....the problem is being a male and being on facebook?

 
If you are comparing two options, you would use "worse". If you were trying to utilize hyperbole, you could say "the worst", but "which people are worst" is a very poorly constructed sentence.

Could be. I actually like keeping up with people this way, many people are more interesting than I thought and others I just wouldn't keep up with but are good people. That tends to happen when you've lived in seven states and have friends around the world. But I am becoming more inclined to unfollow people who make facebook their political forum.

 
My Facebook account is under a fake name and I rarely log in, but I get to hear my wife complain about the idiots who share stupid stuff like this. Even worse is her sister who posts pictures of rainbows and kitty cats with stupid inspirational sayings. I kept telling her to hide her sister's feed which she did for a while, then the sister found out and gave her crap about it. Every week there's some new drama around something someone posted. I despise Facebook with every fiber of my being.

The unfollow feature on FB is great: Spares your news feed from this kind of crap in the OP, but allows you to see any direct contact from that person (i.e. posts to your wall).

 
My old droid has some old version of Facebook and its great. It shows the stuff that ALL of my friends write, in the order they write it. No advertising, click bait, or suggestions. It's so perfect.

Closing your account over this stuff would have been like closing your email account in the early 2000s because of the chain letter garbage.

I know that pretending you're too cool for facebook is all the rage right now (how often in the FFA do people say "look at me, I'm not on facebook!") but it really can be a great tool for keeping in touch with people if you're not just filling your feed with every person you've ever struck up a conversation with. And they make it pretty easy to pick and choose who's stuff you can see so you can block the lame stuff.

Despite living clear across the country I have a very good relationship with all my aunts, uncles, cousins, etc. I know what's going on in their life and they know mine. I still interact with my old college buddies regularly even though we all live 10+ hours away from each other, and we get together for a ski trip every year, typically arranged on facebook.

I'd love to just see everyone in person every day, but the realities of life make that impossible. We grow up, we move away. FB is a great way to keep up with people after you've moved away, and I doubt I'd be as close with my old friends or my extended family without it. I'm a dude in my mid-30's, it's not like I'm picking up the phone every other day to call an old acquaintance just to talk.

The fake name was just to try it out because my wife was pestering me. I don't trust a third party company with so much personal info and I have my doubts that it's actually secure despite whatever privacy settings they put in place. I know a lot of people love it for keeping in touch, so good for them.
 
In my opinion, the people that share are worse.

I read somewhere that the bravest person in a movement isn't the leader of the movement, but the first follower. Because someone who has a radical idea is easily dismissed. It takes a follower to create legitimacy.

That said, I do love Jesus, so "Amen".

agreed. OTOH, when I open my FB account and of the first 12 posts, 5 are about Trump, 2 are about equating muslims to jews (or trump to Hitler), 2 are about gun control, 1 is a graphic picture of dog abuse, 1 is about planned parenthood, and 1 simply says "God is good", it might be time to adjust my settings.

The, "Like and Share if you [inset anything, e.g. iove your mother, care about this child with some disease, love God, etc.]" chain letter-type garbage is much more annoying to me.

Exactly. Facebook has its uses for sure. Most of what comes out of Facebook is just useless opinions with very little fact. But, it just amazes me how many people hate it. And then how many people get offended by the people that hate it. Facebook is everywhere and you just have to accept that. It can't just be confined to one area. And, if you do try to contain it, you realize that it only seems to pop up more around you. But Facebook is here to stay and if it bothers you, just let it go and stop complaining about it.

Now that I think about it, Facebook is Timscochet.

I was on facebook in 2009 and deleted my account in 2010. If you are keeping up with people through facebook it is because you don't give a crap enough about them to actually talk to them. So why give a crap about what they have to say anyway?

 
I know this isn't an option, but I'm a bit of a rebel.

The worst are the women that are selling makeup or tupperware or candles. It really annoys me.

 
What is worse are the morons that were putting the crap on their feeds recently that Zuckerberg was going to give 1,000 people millions of dollars if they posted that on Facebook. Close second are the morons that fall for the get a $500 gift certificate or something like that by sharing or liking a post. There are so many stupid and gullible people out there with no common sense.

Or you could keep in touch by telephone and email without turning over your privacy to large corporation who's sole purpose is to make money. Here is what the creator of the TV show Mr. Robot had to say:

They have all this information on us, and that's exactly how they make money, and they're going to monetize it. And there's just something incredibly dangerous about that. There were these discoveries that Facebook has been conducting physiological tests and social experiments, and then using the information they know about you to manipulate how you feel about certain things. I mean, just think about the consequences of that. A corporation whose sole purpose is profit, knowing all these personal intimate details of your life, and then using this against you in some sort of subtle, subliminal psychological warfare to compel you to either buy products, or switch from one product to another. To me, that's just incredibly disgusting and Orwellian. I don't really know why there isn't more of an uproar. USA did a survey when our show premiered, targeting millennials, and asked if they could go back in time and start over, would they join Facebook. And I think, overwhelmingly, most people said no, which is great. [The survey actually noted most Americans wouldn't join any social media site.] I still don't know why it's as popular as it is. I'm hoping either that changes, or Facebook changes. But I doubt Facebook will.
