Don’t be proud of Your Ignorance
If there is anything that annoys me about people, it’s that they are SO fucking ignorant! Is it honestly too much to ask that people not bitch every time Facebook decides to change something? Half the time, the changes aren’t even that bad – including the most recent one which I saw far too many complaints about.
It’s free, why complain? In my opinion, I think that people just complain to be heard. But the truth is, Facebook doesn’t care. Now hearing that may or may not come as a surprise to you – but it’s the cold, hard truth. In reality you can often make a suggestion that will be taken “to heart”, or it can simply be discarded – that is the discretion of the person you are making the suggestion to. In the case of Facebook, however, your opinion often doesn’t matter when it comes to changes they make to their website.
But why? I’m a loyal user of their website! Yes, but you don’t pay them to do their job – the income Facebook makes is based from you returning to the website, and advertisements. Just because you visit a website or register on it doesn’t mean that your opinion matters to the person, or people, who run the website. I’ve said it many, many times: If you don’t like a change, then leave. No one forces you to visit or use the site, so if you don’t like it then no one is forcing you to stay.
I know that this post seems rather condescending, but it’s not meant to be in any way; I am simply sick of people bitching and moaning every time Facebook decides to change something. Chances are you will still use the site everyday and adapt to the changes anyways.
