Back on Facebook Detox: This time is For Real.

So, I have had a love hate relationship now over the last couple of years on Facebook with Facebook. 
 I was resolving to go along with it because it is the cheapest and fastest and easiest way to reach all the people I want to keep in touch with. 
 But, really? 


Facebook is becoming a cesspool of smut. It is where I practically met my beloved one now. But, People are not using it to connect in a positive way. They are using it in a way that is counter productive. 

Facebook used to be humble and they used to intend to connect the world with each other. Now, Facebook wants your money. I guess the muilti billion dollars a year it has is not enough for the people that are making loads of money off you, and so they are in January going to start a couple of things. 
First of all, If someone doesn't know but wants to contact you  (or if they know but you are not friends,) they will start charging to send emails. This is saying::: You have something important to say to the person who is not your friend, so, we will connect you with a fee... REALLY??? In other words a sneaky way to get more money from you. 
Then there is another thing. They are going to start charging big companies for them to while you are waiting for your news feed to upload, commercials. You know those annoying 30 second commercials on TV that really make you want to not watch TV? Yeah... They are allowing TV-Type commercials. These will be forced, by the by. They are starting this in January. 

Timeline came out and against our will. It is a terrible design and really is annoying to navigate. I strongly dislike it. We had before then "The NEW Facebook" and I get some people like Timeline: But forcing people to use Timeline is just outrageous. 

The other thing is people are starting to say taht when you write things or like it in the Facebook Website (when you like I Love Sleeping, etc) it is recorded. Facebook records everything you say and do in there. Well, for somethings, I think it is ok. It is good. I mean really we don't want a bunch of kids that are going to talking to online predators. I mean, Lett's be safe here! 
Well, Facebook also records what you comment on the different Groups. They (as in Facebook) say it so that they can try to fit the advertisements with your "Likes". But really? Is this over board? 
  There was a study done by a University a couple months ago, about the Advertising in Facebook. 
When Facebook was first getting all these big numbers, and fast, Audi, Mercedes Benz, BMW, Big companies like Ralph Lauren were the big advertisements in the right side of your Profile and your News Feed. Remember those? 
 Notice that they (the BIG companies) are not there anymore? Where did they go? Why are they not advertisming things that are huge companies, but more applications, and they will try to trap you by posting a picture of you and saying, "Where are you here?" We all have seen those, right? 
Well, the University that conducted this research said that the big companies, when polling their customers, were in fact, not effected by the advertisements in Facebook and as a matter of fact, the consumers were annoyed with the advertisements. So, Audi was the first to pull their advertisements from Facebook, within a few weeks, the others followed. They found that people were more annoyed with Facebook advertising than anything. 
Well, Facebook has to make their money somehow, and so, When you like something, whomever is Promoting the Like is doing their own advertisements. Mind you it is not a big deal to make a Group. I made two groups. I do not advertise nor pay one penny for Facebook to plaster my Group all over Facebook. Therefore I have only about 50 people in one Group and I have made one Group that you "Like" where I post things. only 21 people are in that. Why so low? Because you have to really search it because I did not pay anything to have them. I don't wantt o buy my way to make people like it. 
It is advertising. Well, OK... Facebook, then, Make a Business only page where you and your buddies and like and buy eachothers statuses all you want. I am not going to do that though... 

But, Because I am here and I have about 10 friends that the ONLY way I can get a hold of them is if I Facebook them. (Yes: I have begged and pleaded for them to get Skype and USE THEIR EMAIL!!!) But they refuse to learn how to use their email mail address and refuse to learn how to navigate themselves in MSN Chat, and so I am somewhat stuck in this Facebook and not Facebook postion. 

This comes to what to do? 
I have decided to post to my Facebook I am leaving Facebook, and for good. I will then, When marrying Long Rock, I will keep his account, and use his. I will keep my "Business Groups" and my "Business" account. I will deactivate though my main account when I move to USA. I will not be online there as much as I am anyway because at that point I will be emailing and talking to everyone that I want. I have my family's emails and everyone that really wants to get a hold of me, will be able to do so.
In the meantime, I have "Unliked" about 200 things. When I first came on Facebook, I liked a bunch of things, not knowing what it was. I have since learned not to like "Bitch Shut Up He's Mine" (I am not sure if that is a real Group: I just made it up) but I dont like "everything" because once you like what a group posts are are joined! Did you know that ??? 
So, I unliked about 200 groups. I tried deleting those groups on my iPhone It doesn't let me, easily. So I went on a PC and did it and when I relogged into my iPhone, it updated it for me. It took a while, but this is how I have to clean out some things. Facebook is one of the many changes this year! Look Out World!!!
