I really should delete my facebook, I'll be losing many contacts in doing so though, it's difficult.
I think this is what a lot of the facebook userbase feels. Very few people actually want to use the service but feel forced to.
How are Amazon and Apple so far up?
One pays pennies to its workers and doesn't pays taxes, the other also doesn't pays taxes and is THE no.1 choice for anti-consumer tactics.
For all its scandals, I don't think I've ever heard a bad story about Amazon from a customer perspective. Generally the shit you order arrives on time and as expected.
Once I ordered a GoPro and used it for like 3 weeks and then a new model came out, and I literally shoved the bastard back into its box and crammed its wires and manuals in and returned it, and Amazon refunded me in full
Well people still buy shit from amazon
And people buy iPhones
Amazon delivers stuff to doorstep so my fat ass doesn't have to stop at Best Buy or Game Stop to purchase video games and movies.
I hope my customer loyalty earns me a spot in the future for the preferred Amazon miner's block; the amount of cave ins is dramatically less than all those eBay customers.
There was life and meaningful social connections before facebook, there can still be those connections after disconnecting from it.
Best store contact info of your friends and family and just leave FB all together. Sure it's more of a hassle, but honestly you'd go through that hassle for the people you really care about.
I'd jump ship if it wasn't for that most event invitations are sent over Facebook. If messenger implements any form of arrangements I'll switch instantly.
Still, at the very least Amazon gives you a nice service.
Apple kind of robs you if anything goes bad.
Facebook is on the verge of outliving it's usefulness.
Good. Fuck Facebook.
The only reason I still use facebook is that there is a solid community for a game I play that's pretty active there
If you had contacted customer support they would've upgraded you anyway. Amazon is pretty ridiculously pro-consumer, the problem is that often comes at the expense of smaller businesses in its network & its employees.
I love working for #1 though...
I remember MySpace peaked and died off, then (for some reason, only in Brazil and India) we moved to a platform called "Orkut" which was all the rage til it, too, peaked and died off. And I always figured Facebook was gonna be a passing trend, too. It was really strange (and now, disturbing as fuck) realizing that they just kept growing and growing
They're having a good Q1 though

Up like ~30%
Deleted my account recently, sick of FB and its practices.
Not that anyone asked, but the #1 company according to the Harris Poll is Wegmans.
I had to look them up because I never heard of this place in my life. Apparently they're an equivalent to my state's Publix supermarket, huh. I mean, I also probably like Publix more than any other corporation that exists out there, so I can understand how they're rated so highly.
That's the worst part of when these companies are allowed to become bloated through lack of regulation, they become something of a difficult utility to replace via being a common settlement of relationships. The same applies to much of social media on the internet. While government regulation on utilities is a delicate matter, time keeps causing the matter to grow and become more important in developments. Stuff like Facebook and Youtube are tools and utilities that have been ill handled by isolated stewardship yet are still settled in their purposes. Things will only change via corroding the isolation and severing the nigh monopolies.
Damn straight. I work mainly IT but I do get asked to answer clients' questions on FB whenever it's related to something I work on. I honestly hate the site, but I don't think I'll ever be able to get rid of my account just because of the constant thought of needing it for something unprecedented later.
I'd love to delete Facebook, but living in the UK means it's my main contact to people in Australia, and my work posts all our shift times and events on the private Facebook page. They won't even print off a physical copy of our shift times.
I really want to delete my Facebook, but I lose an enormous amount of communication ability with hundreds of people. It's such a huge social standard that I can't imagine not having the convenience it gives me.
If anyone has facebook and uses it to log into facepunch don't deactivate, as you'll lose the ability to log in again, just a warning
I very much just use it as a place where people from my past can contact me and there's just not a replacement for that yet
i could delete my facebook right now and no one would bat an eye
Please do, everyone who can, should
