I'm still not on Facebook, and I'm not missing it one bit. But when I want to change some setting on my Timehop Abe but can't because they don't offer any other way to login besides through your Facebook account. Or when I receive an email from Cafepress saying I can get 16x20 gallery wrapped canvas for only $38 when it's usually $124. But when I click the link, the only way to get said discount is to like them on Facebook. I hate it. Why must you make people be on Facebook just to use or buy your products? I know many people on and off the internet that have officially given up Facebook or have never been on at all. Why must people who choose not to be on Facebook get the raw end of the deal? Why can't you also have an option to sign in with Twitter, or here's an idea.. your email?? hmm.. never would have thought of that..
As most can tell, I'm not putting off all social media. I still think social media is wonderful, it is very useful and I'm glad we have it. I'm just opposed to Facebook right now. It's a blackhole, sucking us all in. Or maybe it was just sucking me in. I know, as a person, I have a very addictive personality. I latch onto something until it fully consumes me and then i have to back off a lot, or completely, just to be able to think straight. Facebook was my most recent. I was on it constantly. It was affecting me as a person, my family and even my job. Honestly I would have to say I'm a lot happier now that I'm not constantly checking my phone to see what so-in-so is doing, what picture they just posted or to see how my crops are doing on Farmville. I'm reading more, I'm paying attention to work more, I'm just… more.
I really don't know what the point of this post was about. Maybe just to get my irritation off my chest. I guess it's time I'll just have to accept the fact that I'm not entitled to certain services because I choose not to be on Facebook.
