>>76422129
Huh, I guess this really comes as no surprise. Many of the people who frequently use social media were recent college grads who had more time years ago, only to discover that they have to work to put bread on the table.
>>76422712
It's not just that: Most of the post-facebook social media businesses got fat and heavy with VC money, and are being hollowed out by increasingly desperate VC Vulture shareholders, and turned into safespace conflict and advertisement platforms.
Americans in particular are extremely sensitive to advertising, and are good at sniffing it out.
And we fucking HATE the taste of advertisements.
So people are picking up and moving out before they get doxed, or because their favorite places to talk are now becoming aggressively colonized by ads.
>>76421767
I deleted all my social media accounts years ago. I'm very shy anyway. But I still see people on the apps all the time.
who /no friends/ here?
>>76423161
Right you are, I fucking hate ads.
>>76423451
I'd find communities in your area of people who share similar interests to you. It's a lot more rewarding than social media.
As far as how to do that? Places like meetup, maybe take up a martial art, something to at least get out into the world if that's what you want.
>>76424286
Real talk: Unless you live in a city, this just isn't possible.
I get that 70% of people these days live in degenerate-ass cities, but that's still about 1/3 of the country that doesn't, and a lot of those 'cities' are not megalopolises, but are instead overgrown cowtowns.

>needing social media apps to have friends
What you need are hobbies that doesn't involve degenerate vidya or anime anon.
>>76424286
I like walking and going out in nature, but I only really feel comfortable on my own. The only friends I've ever made were huge normies who just wanted to go and get drunk.
>>76426955
Don't watch anime, hardly play vidya any more. I'm just a very awkward person. I spend a lot of time reading, but again, that isn't a group activity
>>76428008
How many friends do you need?
People have been sharing less and less "personal" posts and a lot more memes and ads for years now. It stopped being cool when your grandma signed up.
Twitter is finally undeniably dying, good riddence. Now its mostly used by celebs and media trying to stay relevant.
Teens are moving to things like snapchat, instagram etc
>>76429428
Only a handful, my Bulgarian friend. And a gf. Just someone to go through this shitty life with, you know?
It's because they all contact eachother through snapchat
It's not a coincidence that this is happening as the PC police are cracking down on the normies with all this "I'll kill you if you hurt my feelings" nonsense which is destroying honest and open discussion.
>>76421767
Thank God, I knew it couldn't last forever. The worst part about this is how it will probably be remembered fondly in 15 years. Facebook has been in decline for nearly 5 years now. YouTube is cucked and fucked, and has been for a while. Twitter is literally digital Detroit. Nice and friendly when white people were abound, until Nigs got their hands on it. Instagram and snapchat are ads on top of ads, and it's only getting worse. All things considered, one of these big 4 is gonna bite it, and it's gonna signal the end of the others. People are gonna lose fuck loads of time, money, and friends. It'll be a robots wet dream, and the only sites that will remain will be shadows of their former selves, knockoffs, or small time sites like us, Reddit, FJ, etc.
>>76432565
Google Lemon Market.
Markets can commit suicide if they shaft consumers too hard. Safe space censorship can kill the Social Media Market just like deception killed the Used Car market
>>76432087
>>76432565
People are sick of voluntarily surrounding themselves with advertising and negative energy. They've realized seeing the inside of their "friends" pov is horrible.
The new web will be a return to the old, where people build the communities and content they want for themselves - but it'll be a fight to get there, because most corporations want to close the web off.
>>76421767
I hope all the social media and ads get BTFO
It's a serious cancer on the web leaking into reality
>>76421767
The only social media I ever use anymore is snapchat
I never had an Instagram and don't use Facebook anymore
>>76423451
>>76433025
Remember when the Internet didn't have women and blacks?
Good ol days
A few of my normie friends even claim that they never log onto Facebook any more, and I think Twitter is just for celebrities and left-wing lunatics these days.
>>76433828
Remember those halcyon days when it was just us nerds and paedophiles alone together here on the world wide web?
>>76423451

That's what I read for a moment and it mindfucked me.

What are you doing? Bumping and deleting posts? for what purpose
>>76421767
Doesn't surprise me.
I Mostly just use Facebook to schedule DnD/Parties while tracking folks Bdays
>>76423161
>Americans in particular are extremely sensitive to advertising, and are good at sniffing it out.
It's kinda strange since you are probably the country with the absolutely longest advertisement time slots in the whole world. Hell you even pause live sports games in the middle to show some ads, while the fans in the stadium have to awkwardly wait for it to be over.
It's sure possible that you have a way to find out about ads, but to me American TV is absolutely unbearable.
>>76434732

>>76421767
>People are spending less time on Twitter, Tumblr, and Facebook.
fixt
And this is only because internet oldfags have been saying since the beginning that the people who unironically use these services are retarded for reasons that you only need to read the goddamn Terms of Service to see.
>Dotcom 2.0 bubble crash is coming
Its come and gone and I haven't even bought a cell phone yet let alone start a Facebook or Twitter account.
>>76435070
Now I wouldn't call this an internet crisis.
What this means is that people are becoming as tech savvy as the internet oldfags who don't trust these fuckers with any of their data.
>>76435029
Yes you should come visit our nice country. We also have cheese and chocolate and cows and stuff. Please come, I'll make you good prices.
Btw. what even is snapchat or instagram and why do people think it will live longer than FB or twitter. I've been around the internet for a long time, but I still have a hard time understanding what twitter does. I mean honestly, why did people think it would be a good idea to limit the char limit? Why don't they just all use free blog software and RSS? Twitter seems like such a downgrade.
Will we ever see the death of social media or is it impossible?
>>76435647
Because Twitter feeds enable the user to have access to a massive community where their favorite celebrities and political candidates can interact with them (((personally))).
And yet to this day nobody is urging the political candidates to go at each others throats on social media on the daily instead of saving it for the media gameshow debates.

Mobile shit in goes out of its way to be obnoxious with ads.
It is particularly stupid because I know quite a few people who watch the Super Bowl just for the ads and get excited to share smusing ads with their friends but instead they make third party apps act luke malware.
>>76435647
Successful social media apps have to pass the "can a black person use this" test. Since most blacks don't know what an RSS feed is, Twitter comes along and makes buckets of money.
>>76436038

If you're using a broad definition maybe
You know what he meant shithead
>>76421767
Wow, remember Myspace? how the fuck was facebook an improvement on it outside of layout?
>>76436382
Come on mate... social media is stuff where you interact with named people, usually that you know irl.
I wouldn't consider stuff like 4chan, Reddit or your traditional web forum where you are anonymous or use a handle social media at all.
>>76436382
by that definition the internet is social media. thats fine but the point is if you use such a broad definition it becomes pointless. liberals do this type of thing a lot ie "rape" and "gender" have been so broadened they dont really mean anything as words anymore
>>76435966
That would be an amusing debate when candidates could only use 140 chars at each other.
>>76436182
Yes it's probably this. What I think is really strange about twitter, is that the media was pushing this so hard back in the day, when nobody even heard of it. I'm not sure if they just wanted to be hip, or if there were other more sinister reasons. However I still remember how everybody and their oncle was asking me about it, because I was always the internet dude and I couldn't really tell them because I never understood it myself. Btw. I still only know about two people who really have a Twitter account, at least in my country I think it isn't that popular.
>>76436433
No, actually I don't know what he meant.
Because he's using some oddly specific definition of the words "social media" which I assume only includes sites he doesn't like.
>>76436645
The owner didn't add you when you made an account.
>>76436382
I would wager that anonymous social media is fundamentally different than social media connected to all your personal data and primary/secondary contacts.
But you can keep being retarded if you want.

There are other services which would work better for it, I agree. We could make one, but that requires an investment, and good luck selling that one to the Jews who don't want the goyim to be informed.
>>76436749

Bwahahahahahaha!!!
>>76437054
>implying I have a Facebook
Family member made one for me because I didn't. I deleted it immediately and told them never to do that again.
Only social media I have is an inactive Myspace that I can't log into to delete because I haven't been on it in seven years.
>>76421767
I still use Instagram, and Twitter very rarely, but I deactivated my facebook and then sent them a request to delete my data about year ago. Who knows if they actually did it but they said they did. Something seems very wrong about trusting a private enterprise with so much personal information. It's crazy how many sites let you log in using your facebook account without registering. It just screams "Skynet."
>>76435723
Social media will never fully die. It will become a shell of its former self there will be some idiots who log in, look at MySpace its still alive, kind of.
>>76437109

A lot of people share the same sentiment about TV and don't watch it too much, or just have it on as "background noise".

That's why we are good at spotting them; after spending so long having them shoved down your throat you start being able to just ignore them, or circumvent them.
>>76421767
Good. Fuck that Jew-run shit. I spend all my time on 4chan because I enjoy anonymity.

I haven't been on facebook in almost 6 months and haven't made a post in 2~3 years. Never had a twitter. And its obvious these social media sites are going to go the way of myspace.
My question is what will replace this?
People want
>Security
>Anonymity
>Wide networks and connections
Maybe something that is steam, instagram, facebook and twitter all in one lite package.
Or maybe Steam will take the title
>>76437747

Only thing I'm unhappy with is Jewtube dying, but the tech's there so that it'll get replaced easily with something else and Jewgle won't have shit to do with it.
Basically the kikes and the gov't need to realize that they can't control the internet like TV and newspapers. Because the internet isn't stuff - it's people.

Can you really have friends in an anonymouse sphere. Or is it just a loud shouting hive mind like here.
>>76437468
Many advertisements are designed to work best when they're in the background and you're not consciously paying attention to them. They're not actually reaching for your conscious mind. They're reaching for the unconscious one with the influence of suggestion and other psychological exploits like Progressive's Flo mascot or Geico's Caveman/Gecko retardation, or repeating phone numbers 3 times.
I advise you all to limit your exposure to the electric synagogue as much as possible.

This. But you can still make friends through 4chan, though why you'd ever want to is beyond me.
>>76421767
I hope so, Twitter and Facebook thanks to smartphones has allowed niggers and the rest of the human trash to create these online mobs where some stupid issues becomes "viral". That's how Mike "the dindu" brown became a "victim" instead of another dead violent nigger.
>>76438042
The majority of those companies are useless and make no money. Like Reddit for example.
Moot realized he couldn't make money off of 4chan so he bailed.
>>76436645
> More Jewry.
What really pisses me off with modern politics is that back when you had MS (not that i used it) people all KNEW and openly said facebook was dodge and "corporate". It was why so many bands were still on MS.
People were all talking about "independent" games companies/music labels, even de-corporatizing football. People were getting into DIY this/that/anything.
All of those dim-wits with anti corporate slogans on the Iphone they adore made me realize how false the left is.

>>76438033
That is psuedo-psych at best. To be susceptible to indirect coercion you have to be in need of something in the first place. The ads you are thinking of try and prey on common issues that people have (car insurance, lawsuits, health concerns is a real easy one).
And even if you also have one of these common needs, and are exposed to the ad often, the worst thing that will happen is you think of them when you look for solutions. This is only bad if aren't the type to do your research, and at that point you might as well go with whoever came up with the flashiest, catchiest ad.
>>76421767
unsurprising.
social media is no longer social media as it was sold to us
>neutral framework provider
>you create this place with your own content
now they label political views they dislike as hate speech and ban you. you might as well be watching TV for all the influence you get on the conversation now.
the worthwhile product that was social media has been destroyed by tech giants attempting to exert control, and people are realizing they don't need that shit

A great deal of psychology research is funded with the specific intention to seek out cognitive biases which can be exploited on an uninformed populace.
All you're saying is that dumbasses deserve to be preyed upon to justify obnoxious advertisement campaigns.

>The majority of those companies are useless and make no money. Like Reddit for example.
There's a user bubble. All these little companies are trying to get as many users as possible on their app/platform and they have no idea how to monetize them. They're willing to operate at a loss and they will keep getting injections of VC because their goal from the beginning was to to grow and then to get bought out by Google or one of the other big boys. The day these massive software companies stop paying billions for the newest tumblr there will be a dramatic correction.
desu I've been expecting this since 2010 or so, took long enough
people have gotten wiser not to volunteer and share personal info on platforms beyond their control, after which ads and forced (((viral))) content replaced theirs, then original users/useds started having children and their interest dropped like sanders' chance of nomination
young'uns have switched to other platforms because their elders are on earlier ones
idgaf about twitter, kikebook will die sooner or later and I hope we get a libertarian high-bandwidth youtube alternative at some point because google is pure tyranny
>>76433872
what was facebook even used for on a daily basis? so often people just "retweet" some memejunk stuff on there or skim through news, maybe they switched to a service that is more suiting.
>>76421767
About time.
>>76437131
neither is looking up information from some database
twitter clearly has the personal interaction as a focus
Good. Fuck social media anyway.
I tried Kikebook for about five minutes years ago and never went back.

Put options
>>76442880
Check my flag.
>>76442887
Options?
>>76438095
>>76443045
In an option you make an agreement with someone that within an agreed period of time if you wish to exercise the option they must either buy stock from you (in the case of a put option) or sell stock to you (in the case of a call option) for the price established when the option is taken out. You pay them a premium for this agreement. Thus if you expect the price of a stock to fall you take out a put option, so that when the price falls you can buy stock from the market at the new, lower price and sell it to the other party for the original, higher price agreed.
>>76444398
Should've just said options as in worth-paper lol. But I'm asking more of a "how do I build this to gain traction" question here.
