Something popped in my head earlier. What finally caused me to stop posting anything even slightly controversial on Facebook? When people began to follow me.

The follow feature is off by default - just turn it back off again.

By follow, I meant people would literally follow me and confront me on another page after reading my comment there - not "follow" as in the follow function on Facebook.

It made me realize the old rules (don't yell at someone if their post wasn't on their own page) were dead.

I use FB and Instagram purely for networking and business. Essentially, the aim to show anyone 'stalking me' that I'm a regular, outgoing, fun guy. That means, every no and then, I simply post kosher photos of travels, snapshots at friends parties, as well as liking generic fan or joke pages.

If I want to talk politics or 'say what I'm really thinking' I come here.


---------------------------------

This is exactly how I use fb now.

I was just having this exactly same conversation with a friend of mine. If it wasnt so useful for marketing to my target market I would have deleted it ages ago.

Earlier on this evening I deleted instagram. That is also a complete waste of time and I hate the concept of 'following' people. I am not a follower.

I'm my own boss - so I don't give two shits about what people think, and am very open about being Conservative on my Facebook (which I also use for networking).

I can understand being hesitant about posting some stuff on Facebook, if you work for someone else - but I don't believe any man should hide his opinions.

I'm gonna insert an idea that's going to be absolutely absurd, but here goes:

Delete your Facebook account. It's evil. it saves no purpose except to bring ppl back into your life that you've already written off and for good reason.

I've seen countless marriages ruined by Facebook. One could argue that it was mismanaged or whatever, but the fact remains. It's too invasive and others can track your every movement. CIA has never had a better surveillance tool than Facebook. The whole concept is absurd.

My older sister used to FREAK THE FUCK OUT if I read her diary. Now she unloads our family's deepest secrets in a stupid Facebook post. It's ridiculous.

Well, sorry for OT, but as all Vinny's Instagram threads were closed, I couldn't find any better place to ask this question.

Do you guys know if Vinny's IG services are still viable? I don't know the reason why he was banned, but seems like his app has helped many Rooshers with growing their IG accounts, so I hope it still works.

Also, what about buying IG accounts and changing them to your own afterwards? I know it's against IG rules, so if you actually delete all photos and upload those of yourself on a 20k+ account, you will probably get banned, but maybe somebody got some more insight into it. Growing them manually must be a huge pain in 2018.
