Why Facebook Is The Worst Social Media

Facebook has become my least favorite platform.

Why Facebook Is The Worst Social Media
Wilfred Iven

Facebook, everyone has one. Its popularity has decreased however it's grown to be the worst social media platform.

1. The Negativity

Facebook has become a place where negativity lives. I see more hurtful comments, more depressing posts, and pointless arguments each day. If you don't believe me, click on a post about Pit bulls (for example) and read the comments, you will find complete strangers battling it out and calling each other horrible names. I bet if you scrolled through your feed, you will find someone has posted something sad.

2. The Politics

I'm not just talking about the election. Every single day I see political posts on my feed. "The senate did this today" "Trump said this" "This protest is happening near you this week", the list goes on and on and on. I see friends being rude to each other and people having to unfriend their friends because of politics. And that is just stupid. Politics shouldn't ruin a friendship! Nor should you plaster them for all to see. It's a sure way to lose friends and it's annoying. I know many people can relate when I say, I don't check Facebook much because I don't want to get annoyed or be grumpy over things I disagree with. Why can't Facebook be a kind and fun place?

3. The Ugly And Gross Posts

I don't know why Facebook doesn't censor posts but it should. I have friends who not only like very sexual posts but share it, FOR EVERYONE AND THEIR MOTHER TO SEE. I'm sorry but do you really want your grandma knowing your kinks?! Why do you feel the need to share how many bowls you smoked today? Or that you are "so f*#&ing pissed about this h** who is a b$%^#". Once again, is that something you want your grandma to see? People seem to forget that employers can look at your social media, do you want them seeing what you want your boyfriend to do to you in bed? Nope, didn't think so. Keep it classy!

4. How Can I Make Facebook Better?

As much as I don't want to unfriend some people, I have had to do so. I don't want to see inappropriate photos. I don't want to see how you feel about the president. I want to log on to Facebook and see my friends enjoying their day, sharing good news or posting that cute new haircut. I want to see people raising awareness for a disease or giving advice to new moms. I am so over logging on to Facebook only to log off and sad or mad. Social media is so powerful and we should use it to empower others and make the world a better and happier place. Share positive messages and post beautiful pictures. Make your feed what you would like to see!

It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. But also a time of stressing over the perfect gift.

It's officially December. There is less than a month of 2024, and I still feel like yesterday was summer. Now comes the merriest time of the year, the Christmas season.

Everyone has been waiting for this time of year since mid-October (which is way too early, in my opinion) or before. It's a time of love, family, memory-making, and gift-giving. A lot of times when I ask friends and family what they want, I get a lot of "I don't know" or "I don't care."

Find excitement in your life and start exploring wherever you are right here, right now.

mu bucket list

I was sitting at my cubicle, now that I am an adult, looking at the rain pouring down on the windowsill, bumming on life, wishing for the rain to just stop for a full day.

There are moments where we count down the hours until work is over and how many more days till the weekend, and this many weeks until something exciting. Or something like that? Well, I was bumming because my next day off from work is not until Memorial Day weekend, which is not until the end of May. And since this is my first year out of college being a “real person,” I am totally missing the winter, spring and summer breaks. I am sure all of us have felt this way even if just for a hot minute…

1. You’ve slipped and fallen on the ice at least once.
