  Does anyone else hate the shorts on here? I deleted insta and tik tok to get away from those!

  To quote a former friend: &quot;i thought you hated me, you stopped liking my posts on instagram&quot;<br>I didn&apos;t hate her, i just stopped using instagram.

  I’m glad it’s not just me. Everything is an ad and I’m so SICK of it. Like, I can’t even pump gas without an ad playing on the little screen. If I buy something at a store in person, the person who works there is required to ask me to sign up for something. If I try and watch a video, there are at least 6 ads. Social media isn’t showing me updates from my friends, it’s showing me whoever is paying to have their account advertised. I’m exhausted and I don’t want any of these things!! It’s been enough to make me stop using &nbsp;social media almost entirely. It’s too enshittified to function properly, it’s just exhausting.

  the fact that humans, made as animals and <i><b>meant</b></i><b></b> to go outside and be wild, now find it to be a “luxury” to do so.

  I wish we could go back to a 2009-like-facebook. No more, no less, just that, posting pictures to your friends, writing statuses…

  Tip: Get yourself a DVD player. DVDs are DIRT CHEAP at the moment, and you can build a library of classics for next to nothing. Especially if you&apos;re a parent, because you know many of those Disney and Ghibli movies are timeless.

  Considering social media IS an addiction, those &quot;luxury retreats&quot; actually are closer to rehabs, very pretty rehabs.

  My husband thinks I’m insane for wanting to cancel subscriptions and start buying physical media LOL. I miss the days of owning movies, music and other forms of media.

  Physical media is the goat, especially in a world where you pay for something and don&apos;t own it because it&apos;s not physically in your hands but a code online

  My fake ass used to want to be a mysterious person online. I tryna be vague all the time. And then I realised, why do I wanna create mysterious persona online when I can be offline as nobody... That epiphany really blows my mind 💀 Literally, I&apos;m so tired building this enigma personality when I can just be offline lmfao. How counterintuitive is that. As someone who value privacy so much, being online is definitely not it. This online personality was influenced by many people I follow online. Mind you this was 10-12 years ago. I&apos;m glad I break the cycle 😅
