Social media comments....

[Mark Chisholm]

So, I started a TikTok account a few weeks ago and am amazed at some of the comments that come up. Here's an example of a couple of them, but I've had some really crazy ones come up before. Can't really understand what makes people want to spew negative stuff or even make comments like these?

I recently got on Facebook, and am following a few tree and chainsaw pages.
The ignorant loudmouth blowhards are insane. Lots of folks seem to find accidents, crippling injuries and deaths the funniest thing in the world. For every post that is constructive and contributes to the conversation, there’s 6 idiots hurling insults and trying to be funny. Someone told me I’m a pussy because I use real bar and chain oil instead of used motor oil.

Lots and lots of internet tough guys

Those who can't do, criticize. Also the world is full of trolls and morons. The Buzz is a real exception to the rule in my experience. Been off Facebook for about 4 years and it was the best decision for me.

All the social media is awful.

Just look at stupidity at home.

The ludicrous, unsustatiatable stuff that flies around here from people who don't put up anything else of worth is an example of people coming to tear things down because they have nothing better to offer.

They are here, at TB.

Time to Clean House.


Just my two cents, after only about 14 years of participation.

Unfortunately they’re everywhere

I found the best practice is to voice your opinion and leave it alone after that

Which is sometimes hard for me because I like to beat me war drum also

So why continue to support it then? In its purist form it certainly has value, mix in some negative or loose cannon comments and it becomes tainted. I've never participated in any social media platform save this one and must admit, there are times when I have to check myself before I shoot my mouth off. And, I am sure there have been times when I have and offended someone.

Anonymity is emboldening.

I try never to write anything I wouldn't have the respect to say to someone's face.

It’s painful to read. I’ll probably unfollow all that shit and just use Facebook to keep in touch with out of state family and old friends.

There’s a chainsaw page I tried following but it was too painful to read. Some guy asks a question about carb adjustment and a dozen people want to motherfuck him and tell him to just buy a 500i. Ridiculous. Slightly entertaining, but more sad. The forums are different. More policed, way more intelligent discussion.
Even the fiercest political discussions I’ve seen here ain’t shit compared to that mess on Facebook.

That’s it right there.

Not remotely surprised. Everyone is an expert on the other side of computer screen. So just to clarify. Commercial stories are considered to be 16' so that guy even had that wrong. It was 5 stories and change.

Welcome to the internet Mark. The cesspool of back seat drivers and anonymous hecklers.

I've been on IG for a handful of years, but TikTok seems to be worse so far.

Younger, more obnoxious user base.

Social media is terrible these days. I was a very early user of Facebook (I’m the right age to have joined when it was only open to college students) and back then it was pretty cool. Instagram, same thing. Nowadays, I have no social media accounts whatsoever. My company has a Facebook page, but I don’t manage it or even have access to it, our marketing company deals with it for us. They just send over a screenshot if something interesting shows up, which is not real often.

I know nothing about TikTok besides what some of the “kids” I’ve hired talk about during the day, and that’s enough to cure me!

 

[flushcut]

I only have Facebook for Messenger and Market place.

Dude no way your bucket is 75’

Tik Tok is awful. I have no social media presence but my girlfriend said I should start a lumberjack Only Fans where I hand split wood with my shirt off. Might give it a go if I don't get a raise soon.

I've seen a lot of content creators just not engage with the negative commenters. The people that post derogatory remarks are wanting one thing...a reaction. They have short attention spans so when they don't get it from you responding, they'll get it from another post they shit talked someone else on.

 

[Jonny]

I can’t believe you mentioned the shirtless wood splitting thing! I caught mine taking pics and she shared them with her mother. Kinda weird but okay.

 

[Phil]

HaHa. How hard did you flex when you saw the camera? Gotta give 'em what they want. I'd ham it up something fierce and get into it like it was a professional photo shoot haha.
