Is social networking was a mistake?

Sup Forums is a social network

no it helps you knowing who's a faggot

Right, but Sup Forums is about ideals where as Instagram is about ones personal image.

>body image
>fear of missing out
>people

They mean women. Most men aren't self-directed either, but women are slavishly incapable of doing anything other than they're told.

make me a sandwich bitch

>Sup Forums is about ideals

It's about politics

surprising

stop right there

When I open facebook on my desktop I instantly get a panic attack. You can feel Zuckerberg's venom infect you.

Just because you don't understand them doesn't mean they don't exist.

Allowing women to use the internet was the mistake.

Instagram is great for artistic hobbies.

You see a HUGE divide on instagram though, between creators and models.

Men create amazing things.
Men do amazing things.

Women model things.
Women take selfies holding objects.

If you're not in the top 10% of attractiveness as a girl - IE you're fat, ugly face, gross unfit body. You're nobody. Nobody will pay attention to you.

Girls don't do great things, so they're entirely riding on their looks to get views.

Of course there will be those who try to trick the system. I'm into fishing. There are a handful of girls who actually do the work required to catch amazing fish. They know their stuff because they've put in the time and enjoy the sport.

Then there are those who simply put on a bikini and take pictures with fish caught by men, all of the work done solely by men. Just for views and advertising.

The reason marketing is dying is because there are millions of perspective "models" aka girls who have nothing but their looks, sit at home watching make-up tutorials and taking selfies. Why pay $10,000 for a shitty ad most people won't see or click on when you can pay $1,000 to a "model" who people willingly look at because she has an attractive face?

Obviously this makes other girls jealous. "You mean to tell me all she does is sit inside and take selfies wearing clothes people send to her for free if she models them? AND they pay her cash? I could do that!"

Well no you couldn't because you're an ugly bitch.

Men post amazing once-in-a-life-time fishing videos. Women post pictures of themselves from behind holding a rod with the bottom 1/3 of the photo centered right on her ass in a bikini.

That's the bare minimum, and some of them can't even do that cause they got a flat ass.

Bitches be mad bitches be jealous.

>Is social networking was a mistake?
is or was or will be a mistake always, grammar like yours too

>Men create amazing things.
>Men do amazing things.
>Men post amazing once-in-a-life-time fishing videos

yeah, men put in the time and effort it takes to see something amazing happen.

women go out to take selfies of their ass because they won't put in the time and their ass is a short cut to popularity because it's nice to look at

idk. i like instagram because i get to see incredibly beautiful women , which is what i like

Men also post shirtless chad photos and shallow bullshit

yeah it's great because it filters the most attractive/skilled to the top.

being skilled is much harder than being attractive though, and since most women won't put the time in to gain the skills, most will get depressed when they see pretty women getting attention for taking selfies
yeah being fit takes a lot of work.

women do this too, this is one thing i can commend them on.

no. we finally get to see the truth about women. their vanity and self-absorption know no bounds. I only have facebook, but I still get access to their thoughts and thought patterns that i never had before. I've heard instagram and snapchat are even worse--just an endless parade of selfies and unadulterated narcissism. men need to see this so they understand the true nature of women.

Yes.

Is asking a closed question the way to open a thread?

Not Tumblr?

Yes. It makes feeding one's narcissism the number one goal in one's life and limits their productivity.

Outstanding. Well spotted!

>women
>productivity

this is the root problem.

if women created things or were in any way productive, they wouldn't have to rely solely on their looks to get views.

the problem is most women are not attractive and can't rely on their looks in this way.

none of them will put in the work to get content-views. women only get selfie-views. the ones that are ugly do not get any views. it makes them sad.

Using social media makes me hate myself because I compare myself to my social betters, and the comparison is unflattering.

tumblr is a niche website for nerds like Sup Forums, not a social media platform normies live their entire lives on

Does this mean Sup Forums is better than Instagram for mental health?

>that pic
Don't have an Instagram and my mental health is great. Checks out

you have to learn to use it as a tool to work harder and motivate yourself.

dude your love of fishing is overpowering your argument. all i got out of this is "FISHING FUCK YEAH"

True. I need to stop whining and do something about it.

Yes.
Women crave attention all the time. Now you gave them a way to instantly gratify this demand in their pocket.

It's the same thing with men and porn addiction, except instead of jerking off to much it's being an attention whore.
This generation is so fucked.

it goes for any hobby, just using it as an example of how women use themselves to market other people's products while men create actual content/products themselves.

women see hot women on insta basically living life on easy mode getting free shit and having men do things for them.
social media can be cancer but if you use it to focus on things you enjoy with other like-minded people who want to put in the time and effort (this usually doesnt include people you know in real life) then it can be very motivating.

is that pic called a specific aesthetic style?

Probably although I would think kikebook and snatchchat would be way worse.

Than again I just post close ups of bugs with depressing captions on my instagram and never check what anyone thinks about it so whatever.

>not Sup Forums

/adv/ and /soc/ are worse than instagram

Yes.
Next question?

Fuck off. Sup Forums is an anti-social network.

Quit giving them ideas.

I appreciate the advice.

Only if you're an ugly girl, an incel, or a loser who had to settle for an ugly girl.

Z

vhs or something probably

Meh

Maybe. But aside from Sup Forums I ( and a lot of Sup Forums) use no other social networks and we are probably more mentally ill then 99% of Instagram users

now imagine when you were a kid lets say 9 years and had internet and cellphones like most kids today and you found 4 chan at that age, it would fuck you up pretty bad this is what happening to day with this kids they have access to internet and all own a cellphone on the go, they have things most of us didn't have as kids. The kids get home and instead of communicating with their parents or playing outside they go on social website to look at retarded degenerate video,pics, or listen to nigger music. They twerk on music ally and post vids of themselves making out with their gf on dub smash for relationship goals fucking kids that are 9,10,11 or 12 dude this is fucked up.

>Worst for mental health
>Jenner's, Moretz and others finally botf'd

>implying redpilling children is bad

For the love of Pete, don't you know that existence is pretty much futile? All those things they're occupying themselves with are just self-aggrandisising ego boosters. If you use fake book to get involved in some discussion, that can be rewarding, and it's lighter in nature than pol is. But there's no point in getting wowed by (then jealous of) anything anyone posts, showing off their status.

>the pepe youth

>Is social networking was a mistake?
Becoming a is ya.

suck my dick

isnt pol a sociol network

>Men post amazing once-in-a-life-time fishing videos
kek

>rewarding pathological levels of narcissism and vacuity since 10 y/o
why would you think that?

It's pretty well established at this point that social networks have contributed very little that's positive for the human race.

Have you not lurked pol long enough to start getting into the real black pill stuff about how pretty much everything is vanity? There's little of value on this earth, besides building up/fortifying your soul. I saw the most incredible natural scenery yesterday, but didn't take any photos at all. No selfies saying 'this is #humbling, makes us realise how #small we are'. Not a single photo of any kind, and I'll just have to rely on quickly fading memory recall to ponder that truly memorable experience. They say our entire lives flash before us at the moment of death, so who needs these photos? It's disgusting how humans are willingly stripping themselves of all dignity in order to get a few 'likes', everyone snapping vanity shots of their stupid heads 100 times a day. You're comparing and despairing, but you can easily have loads of experiences that enrich your interior world, without feeling any need to show off in the public gallery. You can even cultivate the divine, if you get really clued in, and the divine would laugh at humanity if they didn't pity us so much for our folly.

Have you even met a girl in real life lmao 2/10 for getting me to reply but seriously kill yourself

>relying on memory instead of taking photos
I fucking 1000% agree with everything you said, this is something that I often feel but people don't get it when I try to exllain it to them.

Yes it's difficult to explain. Their entire life is built around taking pics, and receiving praise for doing so. I guess kind of highlighting that photos only capture a portion of a scene, while the eyes and brain can appraise something in much more depth, is a start. I do like a well-taken photo of some natural scene, or creature, and the guys who take them usually aren't jokers. That's all using sophisticated camera equipment etc, and they're probably so immersed in the process, that the scene impacts them properly. But the social media user rarely has any great conviction in their photography, and are thinking of the validation above all else. Another good explanation is that people did fine for 5000 years without photography. In fact it really only became within the common man's grasp in the 80s

if ur in the top 5% of dudes IM is a blessing

At least that nigger has something he loves that isn't himself. More people need that in our society.
