Anybody here under the age of 40 with no social media? Why?

[RealCrownHeights]

Not gonna lie, social media especially twitter gives me a huge laugh sometimes when I'm having a bad day. I'm 28 and I think I'm going to do a 10 day hiatus. I don't look that good in pics anyway and hardly post. And also people always say I look better in person anyway and I always find myself looking at my ex's pages smh. I did see some successful tech and motivational stuff sometimes I' Going to focus on reading, studying for Certs, working out BJJ and boxing, spirituality and therapy. Women will think you lame kind of but I need this discipline now to reap benefits later.

Something no one will ever admit or say:
"I don't have FB cause my side chick could easily DM my wife".

Social media is for women and dudes who act like women

Anytime you post something it draws the attention of haters more than the people you thought you were reaching and makes you look like an attention whore or somebody that's frontin' for the gram or whatever

I thought it was to connect with family but they're rarely even on there so it doesn't really serve a purpose other than to snitch on your whereabouts

OR promote something if you've got business connections or need exposure

I deleted all mine as i started climbing the corporate ladder. just seemed like it only served to get people caught up and fired over bs posts.
Businesses even started asking for your social in interviews and shyt. i was like yeah that shyt can go to the bushes now

Sad part is it doesn't matter because of my family and friends are active on it, that you can still follow my goings on through them uploading pics or video of me when we do shyt together. on some side chick shyt, hate that.

Fam uses social media as a tool to put each other on blast. I monitor to make sure nothing major is popping off but unfortunately sometimes it is.

its like i got on the whole internet wave through myspace i sold tee's, sneakers, flyers, we were eating then facebook came about and there was an exodus. people claimed myspace is too pedestrian and tacky then all jumped onto facebook. i caught on early facebook was just to boast in a more sophisticated way about how many friends you have and what stage you are in life.

i didnt want to advertise that type of personal info but i am on instagram now, due to trying to network again.

i will join twitter as a podcast character but yeah its not about social media at all, no tiktok no facebook just the instagram and the coli.

You literally have control over what you view on social media. If the content you see is toxic then that's because you choose to watch toxic content.

Right! That’s why I dont understand people who complain about Instagram. “I deleted IG because of all them IG thots and attention whores”… if that’s all you see on IG then that’s the only thing you were searching for

I do have a LinkedIn, but it's for work. I haven't had Facebook since 2010 and I never adopted the other platforms because I have group chains (texting, email, Signal) with all of my close family and friends. I could go into all the reasons why social media is bad, but I simply don't find it useful.

I know people use my wife's Facebook as a proxy, but she's never been a heavy user.
