Do you ever wish...

You were that social media post that got thousands of likes? On occasion I will post and think I'm so hilarious and the wittiest ever. But I'm never ever the one.

My son’s girlfriend had a tic tok go semi viral is had about 12k hits. It was one showing a ton of little texts from her mom who is Italian and loves to add the eggplant emoji and didn’t know the slang code it stands for in the teen realm. A SNL skit broke the news to her mom a year later what it means

That's hilarious

If the post made me look smart, funny, beautiful... yes
If the post is liked because people make fun of me... no.

Nope because I could care less about what people think of me.

True. And most of the the except on here I delete what I say soon after posting since I'm weird. But every so often...

I have no interest in any social media. I don't want to be popular.

I’ve been slowly getting rid of all my social media accounts over the last few years. The last one I had was Twitter (X) and I got rid of that a few months ago. Everything about people trying to pretend their lives are perfect or sharing all their beliefs, I’m done. I found no value in them.

Only if it came with unlimited DVC points and a guaranteed income for life.

 

[Smugpugmug]

No but only because then you would have people posting the most insane, delusional comments you have ever seen.

Source: post of mine got over 27k likes/replies on another site.

I don't post for the likes, but it does sometimes surprise me what ends up being popular. I'm not into TikTok or IG, but I have a YouTube account that I use for video storage/cataloguing.

One of my most popular videos is something ridiculous. We were at a school choir concert when the fire alarms went off. We were evacuated, and I decided to take a video from the parking lot...because at the time, it just felt like an interesting moment I wanted to preserve. It's the kind of quirky stuff that might fade in memories if there wasn't a reminder. I never expected any views, yet somehow, it's close to 21k. It's just silly! YouTube separates out full videos from shorts. A ridiculously basic video I took of a standalone ice maker we purchased...making ice...is my most popular short with thousands of views. Most of my popular videos make sense...cruise ship stuff, Disney, a meteor video that got picked up by the news. It's these quirky ones that are the head scratchers.

I’m only on the DIS, and my fan base isn’t near big enough to generate that kind of buzz.

I gave being being a You Tube sensation years ago but only got about 150 - 250 views for the videos I put up

Me too. I feel like I have done well if a dozen people happen to like a post here.

Validation is nice, though. I like that my reaction count is more than the messages I’ve posted.

Not that that means anything…maybe I view it as quality over quantity. I don’t like to speak unless I think it’s worthwhile. I’m just not a chatty person.

 

[Dan Murphy]

No social media for me. If the dis is considered social media, then that's as far as I go.

 

[nw6675]

I love the responses. I'm mainly just on here as you guys probably painfully know. Every so often I will respond on FB, but man are they flaky.

I belong to a couple of forum sites but don't do 'social media'. Way too many phony/self-absorbed people saying/doing things to either be obnoxious or get more 'likes' to enhance their ability to get ad $$$ thrown their way. Personally, I think we would all be way better off if social media just went away.
