SchadenFreude: Facebook wall of suck

Posted in Culture of Lickspittle at 2:54 pm by George Smith

From last week here:

My take has always been that, primarily, only morons click on Google AdSense links, and by extension, Facebook advertising. Those who do click may be doing so only out of curiosity, often to see just how awful whatever’s being shilled actually is.

And some knob named Alexander Heffner at the blog of the ex-newspaper formerly known as the Christian Science Monitor:

Mark Zuckerberg has the potential to rekindle confidence in the markets and to engage everyday Americans in the kind of economic growth that has been limited to only a handful of individuals in recent years.

Even more hilarious than when published.

Today:

Four out of five Facebook users say they have never bought a product or service as a result of advertising or comments on the social network site, underlining, to some observers, the challenges Facebook faces when it comes to drawing in revenue.

And last night:

Furious Facebook.Com investors have filed a lawsuit against founder Mark Zuckerberg, alleging he knew the business had been overvalued ahead of its flotation last month (May12).

Zuckerberg floated his social networking site on the U.S. stock market for $100 billion (£63 billion) but shares soon dropped in price, prompting complaints from many investors.

Critics allege the CEO knew the stock was overpriced and protected his own finances by selling off the organisation, according to TMZ.com.

Mark Zuckerberg and his FB colleagues are great poster boys for the culture of lickspittle and how it works. The jig’s up for Facebook but they have their piles.

And you’re not famous and you have a couple hundred ‘friends,’ maybe more, on Facebook?

It’s all right to tell the doctor you don’t need any more renewals on that prescription for stupid pills. It’s OK to stop taking them. Really.
