I'm that guy except for whatsapp because I'm cheap and dont like paying for picture messaging. I have zero data allowance on
my phone tariff & roaming switched off so it's (preferably someone elses) wifi or I sort it when I get home to my own.

I'm not on facebook and I got pretty much the same reaction from a friend of mine whom I haven't seen for years. She could not believe I wasn't on facebook and kept asking me what do I use the internet for if not for social media.

The only place where I have any online social interactions is the BCF.

Ironically enough, the only reason I finally succumbed to the call of Facebook was after joining a biking group this year, which circulates satnav route maps via a closed FB group

Same, although I held out for years (only installed it this year). I also use FB messenger but don't login to the full site*, as all my 'friends' are people I hate (from school/work etc.), and everyone knows about privacy settings now so I can't even have a perve Crying or Very sad

*apparently there's an option to nuke your account but leave messenger active, I might do that.

I joined facebook because wifey told me it was the best way of keeping track of what the kids were up to. Get 'friends' with them then just shut up. They soon forget you are watching and post every stupid thing they get up to.

Then they wonder how you know. I really thought my kids were more intelligent but no, wifey was dead right. We still see what they are up to even now they have grown up (allegedly) Rolling Eyes

I only signed up for Facebook because I have a daughter, so...kind of mandatory. However, I've found that owners clubs for bikes are great like the VFR one (thousands of members) and are brilliant for asking questions like, "ere, is this ticky tappy noise normal?"....."Yeah mate, mine does that too it's fine"

Prolific user of facebook here.

Instagram has phases where I'll use it, then it lies dormant for months.

No interest in any of the others though. Twitter, Snapchat etc... it amazes me how much air time the news gives to 'Tweets' that people have written.

I have no interest in the mindless babble of celebrities, However Twitter is quite useful, if you follow the right sort of people/companies, I use it to follw tech companies and big names in IT. Twitter give me an insight in to emerging technologies and new features/products

All of the above are reasons why I'm on FB, however I travel there anonymously using my showbiz name. I think/hope that the real me is quite hard to find unless you know me already Praying

Instagram is better for monitoring my away-from-home offspring these days but FB is good for keeping up with BCFers. It's also useful for car forums, following bands and keeping in touch with friends in Cyprus.

I don't like it though and feel slightly dirty everytime I make a visit, which is several times a day Sad It's like getting into someone else's bath water after they've had a good soak Sick

Sid deleted his FB account and occupies the moral high ground now. Ironically though any updates he's interested in, he recieves via my FB account Rolling Eyes

It amuses me that Al Beeb are obsessed with Donald Trump Twitter, then went to speak to actual Yoof and they were all like, wut, Tweeter, that's for geezers and wankers and that, that's going right on Snapchat you weirdo.

Speaking of amusing, I bet you could do a funny version of the OP video.

I have FB, but I rarely post anything - I just skim through it once a day.

I also signed up with Twitter, but only because there are a lot of links posted to FB that originate from Twitter, and you can't click-through unless you have an account. (Again, I rarely Tweet)

Snapchat can do one (mainly because I'm of an age where no one I know will have a Snapchat account either - FB is the social media of choice for my demographic)


(The "Even Google +" comment at the end of OP's video raised a wry smile)

No Facecrap for me, I don’t even have an account.
To many people wanting to know your business Evil or Very Mad

If someone want to engage with me , they can talk to me.
It’s not hard to use a phone.

The mighty BCF is my only nod towards any form of social media.

At the risk of sounding Christmas pantoish, Oh yes it is.

At least you would think so with the women in my family. They'd rather send 20 text messages to say what could be verbalised in a 15 second phone call. The only time they seem to phone me is to ask why I haven't answered their texts Rolling Eyes
