Why most people here dislike Facebook?

Of course wit and humor is the way to go but there has to be a substantial reason.

Why? Apparently an interview is passed or failed in the first 12 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMmfJWITrR0[^] so why would we need a substantial reason to dislike a website or service?

I don't see any posts here, so far, ridiculing the existence of it. Care to elaborate?

Now, before start off, here are few things to make note of: 1. You cannot call it bad just because of content. If that was the case, you should dislike CP as well considering amounts of rants about Q & A here. 2. If you have had a bad experience with random friend request, it is not FB's fault. 3. If you are annoyed with game requests, you should consider choosing FB friends carefully rather than blaming FB. 4. If you think content there is just idiotic, remember it is not just for people like you. Kids to old people use it. There will be everything there. Again you need to choose what you want to see. 5. If you do not like their UI, for few things I am with you.

In my eyes it's a platform that raises the worst side of internet to a level never seen before - and I'm talking about the opportunity to be someone else, and lie about yourself to everyone, yourself in the first place. That behavior creates a generation that thinks - because of the fake relationship built on FB - that it's acceptable and tolerated to lie. If FB (and friends) goes on people that remove the barrier between real and fake will be a majority in a lot of important places in our word - I DO NOT WANT IT!
I'm not questioning your powers of observation; I'm merely remarking upon the paradox of asking a masked man who he is. (V)

Again, your fault. You need to learn difference between internet and real World.

Been there. It is not really intuitive but it is not that difficult as well. Hell, way better than doing anything in SAP for God's sake.

I use it to stay in touch with friends and family but I post very little as I have no desire to live my life on line. Except, of course, for CP. :-)

Which is precisely why I don't like it. You're making my point for me. :)

Huh? You are getting me wrong. If you cannot understand bloody difference, you sort of ask for , ummm, heart break?

Who do you think does not understand the difference between internet and real world? And if that is not what you are saying, what are you saying?

Banking upon a disliked yet prevalent behavior and making fortune out of it, amazing. Be smart. Period.

People who get hooked to one fake profile. Isn't that what leads to fake relationships?

I am not questioning amount of usage. I am questioning why people crib about it. A reason please. A valid one.

Because people live out their entire lives online. Dumb. I pretty much said that - guess you missed it.

And none of that is FB's fault. It is content and users.

You sure are defending FaceBook as if you have a lot of stock in it. Just saying. :laugh: I don't use it at all so therefore I cannot hate it. However, from what I have heard people hate it because it is fake. Fake meaning people have 2000+ "friends." They aren't friends. And people post boring updates. Like twitter, "I'm eating toast." Etc, etc. That's why people hate it. Simple.

Poke. Is that still a thing?

I've never poked anyone! :-)

That is my whole point. What, in everything you mentioned, says FB is bad? It is your choice of making FB friends which bad. You chose the content you see. If you choose crap, you get crap. What is wrong with container holding crap?

I detest Facebook for its blatant disregard for privacy, demonstrated repeatedly in the past, and I have no confidence that "this" time they have all the holes plugged. I use it, however, as it is the only means I have to keep in touch with friends in far places. A necessary evil, but I keep my exposure to a decent minimum.
