Bad internet etiquette
#23925317 - 12/14/16 09:17 AM (7 years, 1 month ago) |

Petty rant, but it drives me fucking MAD!!!! It's most common on social media and people who I know in the real world rather than randoms. A few of them have copied/recreated several of my instagram posts. I wouldn't even mind this if they acknowledged my posts first. I don't like the idea of people watching my posts without communicating with me/acknowledging them. It's creepy. However, as I know them in rl, deleting/blocking them would be kind of awkward. One person even copied one of my captions exactly word for word. It's not their lack of originality that makes me the most annoyed, it's their rudeness. At least give me some credit if you're going to pinch my ideas/posts/thoughts.
Now someone has just posted the exact same article I posted on FB without even acknowledging my post first. Boils my fucking piss!

And whilst I'm on one, people who use social media to constantly post pictures of THEMSELVES.
It's the height of narcissism and not in the slightest bit interesting, no matter how attractive someone is. It just makes them look extremely ugly and self-centred/ desperate/shallow.

Isn't self-absorption the premise behind that stuff in the first place?

Only if you're a self-absorbed sheep, which seems to be most of the population.

If you have a good idea someone will take it. Is a simple fact of life. People are lying pieces of shit. That's why we have copyrights and patents.

Nah, it wouldn't really. They sound like people you don't even particularly care for anyway. Why do you have everyone you know watching your online actions in the first place? Like you said, you don't even interact with them. Lots of people do this these days without even thinking about it and it just makes no sense to me. I'LL BE YOUR PRETEND FRIEND IN EXCHANGE FOR YOUR SURVEILLANCE!!
Anyway, if it was me I'd just make fun of them for copying my posts and being that desperate for attention.

There's one girl in particular who does it all the time and she has a boyfriend, so it isn't that.
