I'm just not a huge fan of double-edged swords, especially ones that are that damn sharp.

Main reason is prolly because social media gives dumb fucks this idea and platform to think their opinion is important as fuck.

How is that any different than GameFAQs?

And how exactly are those users dumb compared to this site?

One is for discussion

One is for popularity

I don't particularly LIKE the state of either thing btw

I'm more curious about why they keep circlejerking around the common goal of hating every YouTuber ever...

Social media can be about both; it doesn't have to be one or the other. I post things for discussion when I'm not throwing memes around on my wall; I'm definitely not doing it for attention or popularity, and I don't think a lot of my friends are either.

gamefaqs is like a tiny spec compared to twitter. whatever you have to say here will not give you the same validation.

Too ugly and/or awkward for actual social media and are forced to use GameFAQs so satiate their need.

Needless to say, GameFAQs can be for both too

There's nothing inherently wrong with seeking validation but it can potentially enable wrong ideas and on social media like twitter it can lead people to dangerous paths.

Overall, social media has unquestionably become a blight but the individual experience is largely what you make of it. A lot of people here are miserable bastards, so...

Nope, it's gotten more advanced. You used to be able to have entire usermaps through proxies or VPNs but they even detect that now.
