FAKE NEWS for the Zionist agenda A Reuters/Ipsos poll released Monday said 1 in 3 Americans on Facebook are spending less time on the site because it’s boring, not relevant or not useful. But, anecdotally, what do some Facebook users say? Here’s a sampling Yahoo! News collected this week
***
Facebook is useful — but boring: I find that Facebook is invaluable for reconnecting with old friends and telling fans about my latest stories and articles. Too bad it’s so boring. I’m just glad George Takei — the most entertaining and funny person on Facebook — is now on Pinterest. Pinterest is like Facebook with pictures. Everyone is more entertaining when posting pictures of cute, interesting, and funny things, than when posting their latest Farmville “achievements.”

24/7/365 stimulation: As a social media consultant I can personally vouch for the fact that boredom with Facebook is directly related to the user’s eagerness to connect with the world. I have access to thousands of friends from all walks of life that live all over the world to whom I can connect literally 24/7/365. If that isn’t stimulating informational entertainment, then I don’t know what is! — Emilia Zs Rak

Badgered for not ‘liking’ a Facebook post: Facebook is boring me to the point of tears. My friend’s third-cousin Sammy needs to inform us that she is enjoying a ham and cheese omelet at McCarran International Airport. And minutes later, I am being badgered for not “liking” this post. Why bother? I want to curl up in a fetal position in the corner of a bedroom and wait for the information overload to pass me like a wave. — Kevin Kreusch

Facebook is lacking appeal: I have been an avid Facebooker since 2009. Lately I have found myself staying away more and more. The recent adding of the Timeline and privacy setting changes have made it less appealing to me. The people I would normally talk to have also stopped visiting as much. Overall, the “new Facebook” has made this longtime user incredibly annoyed. — Tiffany Bailey

Too many conversations about nothing: Facebook encouraged us to make intimate connections with cousins twice removed and colleagues we’d rather not deal with after hours. Continuously communicating online with such folks leads to long awkward pauses and redundant, meaningless comments under photos and video clips, some that shouldn’t be shared. I’m at the point where I’d rather click on the thumb than add another “:)” or “lol” to the pile. — Maya Black

The Facebook blahs: Once upon a time, Facebook was the new Myspace. It was the hip, cool kid on the block. However, now littered only with motivational quotes and users running scared about what their boss (or potential boss) might see, Facebook has become boring, dull and outdated. If it’s not the same old boring content or photos posted ad nauseam, it’s just plain eye-roll worthy of late. Facebook just isn’t “fun” anymore. — Shauna Zamarripa

Dear Facebook, I’m bored with silly right-wing trash talk: Maybe I am bored with Facebook. When I checked in yesterday, I had seven aging friend requests, three really old messages and 81 ignored notifications. I’m really sorry I missed Debbie’s message about flying in from San Diego, Neal’s engagement announcement and my brother’s humorous smartphone blurbs. I blame those ridiculous trash-President-Obama posts by right wing “friends.” They don’t even make me feel angry any more, just annoyed and bored enough to stay away. — Carol Rucker

Why I’m not bored with Facebook: While I can see why people would get bored with Facebook, I still need it for social and professional communication. Most of my friends and colleagues frequent the site, so it is a simpler and quicker way to communicate with them. At all hours of the day, I can talk and interact with others on both newsworthy and personal stories with ease and convenience. Facebook is easy to use and keeps me connected with others. — Austin Chang

It has hype but has its uses too: Facebook can definitely be annoying, too prone to design changes that aren’t really necessary and a cesspool of inanity at times, but it is useful for planning events such as parties and making collaboration easier, too. I’ve met great people and created wonderful memories at events planned on Facebook, for example. — Emma Harger

Facebook rocks: Having spent half-a-lifetime in London, the other half in the United States, Facebook is keeping me connected to friends and family across the miles in both pictures and words. For that, I am very grateful. Thumbs up from me, Facebook. — Laurie Jo Miller Farr
***
Always boring and somewhat useful: Meh. I have always been bored with Facebook. Do I really need to see a picture of someone’s pet cat doing tricks? No, I don’t. But if you can filter out the noise, Facebook can be quite useful. Facebook is great for keeping in touch with people, sharing photos/videos and being a fan. Just whittle away at the boring stuff to get to the good parts of Facebook. You will enjoy it. — Edwin Torres

Advertisements on Facebook — boring!: I find the array of Facebook advertisements boring. I go to Facebook to play games and check out happenings with family and friends. It is not a place that I go to purchase items. When I have clicked on a advertisement, I have to be selective due to the bogus information that appears. My vote: Get rid of advertisements unless they are screened. — Kim Blakesley
