Greedy Facebook Playing Its Googly Games

We like everything free. The Internet giants DON'T.

That's why Kim Dotcom the Nazi, became a multi-millionaire. He set up Megaupload so that he made a fortune off ads, and even more off people having to buy a "premium" account to get the royalty-theft music and movies and whatnot.

GOOGLE? You remember when YouTube didn't have intrusive ads that often run longer than the clip you came to see? "Monetizing" YouTube was what GOOGLE was after, the minute it bought the company and made sure filing DMCA's became more difficult.

And now...

FACEBOOK is playing games. Many websites are commenting on the Judas-greed of the fuckhead billionaire who owns FACEBOOK and wants MORE money:

You know how sheep are...any FACEBOOK page that has a post like this...gets some pussy-ass lunatic cunt declaring we should be GRATEFUL for what we've got, and let the Uber Leaders do as they please. Fortunately, THIS cunt got a dildo-load of "not nice" comments. Heh heh...

I'll admit, for a while, Farcebook was somewhat amusing...I instantly found old friends and co-workers and could have a good laugh seeing their stupid faces, reading their even stupider posts, and discovering just how self-absorbed they STILL are, and how they share their mediocre lives by posting snapshots of themselves at parties, restaurants or...selfy-selfy...at home doing NOTHING.

After a while, I discovered that these assholes (including D-list celebs) who have 4,000 or 5,000 (the limit) "friends" were actually NOT FOLLOWING more than a dozen of 'em. So the point? Oooh ooh, look at all the FRIENDS I have that I DON'T KNOW. It was all about showing off...talking and never listening.

Then there were a few D-list rockers I discovered who did seem to listen and even "like" a comment. But how quickly they went silent when I brought up something like, "Oh, take a look at THIS link...shouldn't you send a DMCA about somebody stealing your NEW ALBUM?" I'd get a "oh, thanks...we have somebody on that" or maybe "thanks, the link's been removed." And when I say, "the link is still active..." that would be it.

Basically these D-list rockers were only around and posting when they managed to get some tiny gig in a remote armpit of the world: "Come on down..come to my show..." Which either received NO responses or the usual, "Wish you were playing near me."

Yeah, I saw how these D-listers were so pathetic in begging people to go to their website and buy some over-priced signed piece of shit (t-shirt, photo book, trinket). Even worse...the ordinary fuckheads suddenly dropping the mask and begging, "Anyone out there have a job for me?" I began to see that FACEBOOK was just a place for desperate, lonely, greedy, egomaniacal failures trying to use people in any way they could.

I began to UNFOLLOW almost everyone, and not post comments because people really do NOT want to hear your comments if you're funny, if you don't take their shit seriously, and if you correct their stupid political rants and panicky whining with facts.

I began to seriously wonder...am I nuts...or is the world really crazy, apathetic, selfish, and crass?

That's when I did see a MEME from the "Mind Unleashed" group, one of the few FACEBOOK posters that tries to be informative or interesting and I guess pull people to their website so they can make ad money.

Uh, yeah. OK. That was a brief moment of feeling good. Thanks. I made damn sure not to check the Internet news sites after that...to see Viley Virus sticking out her tongue and "giving herself a wedgie" and getting praise in the comments section: "She's AWESOME..." "She ROCKS..." "I'm glad I saw her in concert...she is a force of nature." Yeah, she's a force of nature. So's a bowel movement.
