Quotes. Pray for this or that. Clean eating. Wedding inspiration. People making sneery memes about what women are wearing/their makeup. Apolitical people talking about politics. People from my past or distant relatives trying to be "friends" with me.

I don't get twitter. I opened an account and found it headache inducing. I much prefer forums such as boards where you can follow a thread. Twitter was too fast paced for me and I gave up after a week or so.

finooola · 29-07-2016 08:35PM

I forgot cats. Amusing ones are ok. Peoples' normal cats being boring are ****.

Joe.ie putting up a video of two lads mopping up in supermacs in Galway with the "sure arnt they sound.".... Ffs

Keane2baMused · 29-07-2016 08:39PM

I hate the falseness of it and also that people can actually stalk you. I'm no longer on Facebook and I'm not on twitter/instagram.

I get funny looks when I say I'm not on Facebook!

Jimbob1977 · 29-07-2016 08:41PM

Hashtags

Changing profile pics to France or Germany or the rainbow flag

People supporting Bernie Sanders with no idea about his policies and no clue about politics whatsoever

Expressions like manspreading, fat shaming, safe space, slut walk, binary sexuality, gender fluid, more letters being added to LGB...TQI

Trout pouts

Shop40 · 29-07-2016 08:43PM

I left Facebook too, and I don't miss it for a minute! It's refreshing to be done with the thing.
Also hated the falseness of it. The perfect kids photos, little Billy taking his first steps, the amazing holiday in wherever etc etc. Put the camera down and live life! Rant over:)

Oh and on Twitter, when people follow and then unfollow just to bump up their numbers! Pathetic!!

Exactly the same. I'm almost a year off it and it is really refreshing. I'll never go back to it.

That nobody lives in the moment anymore

Instead everything must be recorded or snapped for social media

29-07-2016 08:51PM

Everything about FB.
People you hardly know or talk to, friending you and stalking you.

Type 'Amen' and you'll have a miracle performed in 7 days.
Scroll past this horrific picture and you're a dick.
Facebook will start charging from tomorrow on.
Facebook will make all posts public because it was on Channel 13.
I like twitter for a wee rant about tv shows but that's about it.
ALL the former fatty 'blogs'. Everyone is a ****ing blogger.
Clickbait.
My acquaintances children having Facebook pages that their parents set up for them when they're 10 years old.

It doesn't stop me checking my Facebook page every 2.4 seconds though :-/

I mostly just hate what social media has become. When I joined MySpace over ten years ago it was the biggest social networking site at the time, and it was tons more fun that what Facebook is now. You could post any old crap and not have to worry about offending relatives. With the growth of social media it just brought with it too much noise. Having to sift through a newsfeed of utter crap from people you don't really care about and eventually blocking them is not my idea of social media.

Richard Hillman · 29-07-2016 08:59PM

It gives people a voice, who really shouldn't have a voice.

B.A._Baracus · 29-07-2016 09:08PM

Honestly, I hate social media. I understand millions like it and that's OK. It's opinion. But my opinion is that the likes of Twitter especially has given a platform for idiots and utterly pc morons.

TSMGUY · 29-07-2016 09:14PM

People who use the following terms:

Samaris · 29-07-2016 09:21PM

Never really clicked with social media. My farmville lies dead and withered (does farmville still even exist?) My ninjas and pirates and assassins have all retired. I..heard of candy crush. Couldn't actually say for sure if it's a Facebook thing or a phone thing. I'll have a brief spurt of posting and catching up with people on Facebook, and then ignore it for six months. Was an early user of both Bebo and LinkedIn though.

I so backed the wrong horse on Bebo v Facebook.

...actually, is the ninja and pirate game still around?

siblers · 29-07-2016 09:22PM

Yesterday me and 2 friends went up a place called Cardiac Hill in Killarney, our first time up, got to the top, had a look around and headed back down, none of us gave a 2nd thought about posting it on social media. On the way up, we passed a girl I know, this morning she posted a picture of her at the top with 6 hashtags of **** like #nevergiveup etc and people commenting saying "oh well done, marvelous acheivement"

People posting pictures on them using Snapchat filters on Facebook, you're not funny or original.

People posting up a new profile picture, and around 20 comments of "you look amazing hun" when the picture is of you layered in make up and your pigsty of a room in the background.

People checking in everywhere...zero is the amount of ****s I give about hat restaurant you are at or what pub you're drinking everything alcoholic at

mansize · 29-07-2016 09:23PM

Far right extremism

SimonTemplar · 29-07-2016 09:26PM

Like almost everything, social media has its benefits and drawbacks.

One of its main drawbacks is that it tends to emphasize human stupidity, the best example of which is that crazy trend a year or two ago involving people setting themselves on fire as some kind of challenge.

That's what I hate the most about social media :pac: it's people bigging themselves up and posting crap.
But no one cares what you do.

For anyone over 35 this nonsense can't sit easy with them because we can remember a better time

mfceiling · 29-07-2016 09:33PM

The whole where you are and what you are doing. You are not a celebrity so no one gives a shīte where you've checked in to.

I think when your mother or father join falsebook it's time to close it up.

If that's dry humour from Richard (the man who really should have a voice) Hillman, then nice one.

If not, I disagree.
I think the one - and possibly only - good thing about social media is the fact that everyone can have their say and voice their opinions regardless of age, socio-economic grouping, formal education, race, religion, gender etc.......ok so most contributions, including my own possibly, are nothing more than a steaming pile of dogshìt.
But at least we're all free to have our say in public now.......it's good to talk.

looksee · 29-07-2016 09:43PM

I use facebook. I never look at my own page, and almost never follow posts back to anyone else's home page. I am a member of a couple of groups that are of specific interest and I follow them, and I have a couple of groups with friends that we use for specific interests. There are things about fb that are a bit irritating, but I just don't get involved with people's personal stuff.

Anything about social media that I 'hate', I just don't go there. I don't have a clue about twitter, never use it though I have an account.

indioblack · 29-07-2016 09:55PM

Social media.
How many people write letters anymore?
Instead there is this - two fingered typing, spell-checked, dubious grammar - electronic script that will be forgotten or deleted in a day.

The Codemaster · 29-07-2016 09:56PM

I hate the "OMG u ok hun? PM me" posts.

DontThankMe · 29-07-2016 10:02PM

People constantly posting selfies of themselves in the gym with stupid poses tensing etc. which is nearly always followed by the hashtags fitfam gymlife etc. We know you go to the gym daily and have a good physique but do you have to remind us every ****ing day of your gainz and the meals you eat!

Greenmachine · 29-07-2016 10:05PM

Far too many social media channels. I have lost interest, and don't even want to try and keep up. Pinterest, Snapchat, Twitter et al.

Really? I never had a facebook account and maybe in the first year or so people would ask why or whatever but nowadays nobody asks or cares.

KKkitty · 29-07-2016 10:10PM

Vague posting that comes with the Are you ok hun? crap, Trolls who hide behind a pseudonym posting derogatory comments. Celebs with their sponsored sh1te posts on social media annoy me too. 9 times out of 10 they don't use the products themselves. Last but not least, people who go out of their way to be offended by the most stupid of things.

The twitter outrage brigade.
Cian Healy posted some nonsense as he does, about a blue wall during the week. If I ever became dictator of this country, every worthless idiot who replied chastising him would be exiled.

MagicHumanDoll · 29-07-2016 10:20PM

Narcissistic tendencies in most humans brought out and encouraged. I'm nearly 20, so it's rather difficult not being on social medias (We have a college year group where you find out things pretty fast), but Christ is it difficult not to read the things people post, look at the photos they post and just think 'if only they had stopped for a moment before they posted and thought about how self centred they are coming across'

Now I know it's not the reason for the thread but worth noting there is some great stuff about social medias too.

PowerToWait · 29-07-2016 10:22PM

Shilling Juice Plus ****.

pragmatic1 · 29-07-2016 10:26PM

Profile pic changes every five seconds.

Having to wish someone a happy birthday every day.

Conspiracy theorist bullcac and/or homeopathy "cures" and pseudoscience presented as fact.

Inspirational, deep, memes.

Impeccably staged, but spontaneous, life moments every few minutes.

Essentially facebook.

It's very handy to stay connected to people, that I do like. The only reason I'm still on facebook.

Gen.Zhukov · 29-07-2016 10:28PM

It gotta be facebook (aka nosebook)

The duckfaces (you look horrible)
The selfies (nobody GAF)
The pictures of the lunches the facebooker is eating.....seriously ? why the f would you think anyone is remotely interested in what your lunch looks like..
It's just a matter of time and then we'll get " here's a pic of yesterdays lunch in the bowl, before I flush it "
Reply would be " OMG hun, looks a bit scuttery "

Please, STFU and stop !

What about social media do you hate?
