Part of why Facebook is so insidiously evil is because it's essentially a big display of bullshit. Nobody puts in their daily lives, just the really amazing shit. All you see are pages upon pages of people hanging out with their new girlfriend in the Bahamas or hang-gliding off a mountain or travelling the world, but not the 99% of their lives where they're waiting for the day to end or stuck at traffic. Nobody really wants to see that. Nobody really wants to see all those pictures from the Bahamas either.

And if you go in the other direction, all you get are people who write sympathy-baiting depressing garbage, and nobody wants to hang out with someone who's so miserable that they think constantly whining online to hundreds of people is an acceptable strategy to living their lives.

I think that's why I enjoy imageboards and recently Ganoo/Social. Here everyone justs posts smug lolis, anime tiddies, ebin memes, gets into arguments where both sides realize there's no stakes involved, and otherwise wastes their time. It's an extreme level of honesty and simplicity that's so utterly refreshing.
