Over the past few years, I've found myself on Facebook less and less. The website that put Myspace out of business is losing some of its novelty as more and more social media sites gain popularity. I always try to get into Facebook, but logging in and seeing the same trends has led me astray. If I had it my way Facebook would return to the days of people actually posting quality things, posting pictures with their friends, and of course my fantastic articles. I've made this list to help out my fellow genius Mark Zuckerberg return to greatness. So I present to you the 6 things that are ruining Facebook.

1) Food Videos Shared by People That Won't Make the Food That They Are Sharing

Don't get me wrong, I love food as much as the next guy, I often think about food, I dream about food, 3/4 of my day revolves around food, but the thing is I don't log into Facebook to see some "super simple, one pan, 20 minute, 3 ingredient roasted chicken" recipe. I understand that you may think it looks good, but the thing is if you aren't going to make the dish (which 95% of people won't), then go to google and type in "pictures of food" and save your friends' timelines some room.

2) Some Preposterous Buzzfeed Article

A while ago I wrote an article in which I waged war with Moe's and Qdoba. Moe's tweeted at me only for me to put them in a bodybag (haven't heard from them since), but here comes another declaration of war, this time the enemy is Buzzfeed. Like what is Buzzfeed? I've seen political videos from them, I've seen animal videos, I've seen food videos, etc. I recently saw a Buzzfeed article titled "Stoned People Get Surprised With Sloth", and it made me think what are the people at Buzzfeed doing. Like who comes up with that idea, I can imagine a big headquarters filled with desk monkeys trying to generate ideas and some clown stands up and says "Let's bring in a bunch of sloths and give them to some high guys". What are the qualification to be in the Buzzfeed think tank? It seems like Buzzfeed is getting pretty desperate, so when they want some A+ ideas I'll be waiting.

3) Someone's "Hot Take" on Politics, When In Reality They Don't Know Anything About Politics

This election needs to end ASAP. We get it, all the candidates are pretty bad, Trump is a pompous jerk, Hilary flips and flops more than a fish, and Bernie is an old socialist. Everybody knows this stuff there is no need to use your newly acquired knowledge you gained by taking an intro to Political Science class. The election is a good demonstration of democracy, but democracy is flawed if people don't know what they are talking about.

4) Internet "Magicians"

I've stumbled across these guys a few times on my timeline, and have clicked on some videos to see what's really going on. The truth is, there is nothing magical about what these guys are doing. The trick usually starts out with the viewer picking a number or color or state of some sort, and then the end the "magician" usually correct picks a food, or number you are thinking of. Truth is, there is no "magic" going on, it's just some nerd formulating his question so he can manipulate to come to the outcome he pre-determines.

5) "Social Experimenters"

You've all seen the videos of someone going out and pretending to be homeless to see how the homeless people are treated, or the guys who go out and show how easy it is to kidnap children. The videos are fairly effective and show some flaws in our society, but these videos only focuses on the negatives. For example, the videos about people pretending to be homeless show citizens ridiculing or mocking the homeless, but you don't see the number of people that give them money, or food, or words of encouragement. Unfortunately there are people with poor intentions in this world, but why not show the people that have good intentions too.

6) Scenes From An Old Talent Competition Show That Nobody Saw Live

Talent Competition Shows need to go, it took American Idol too long to figure this out. The problem with these shows is that winning these shows doesn't mean you are going to be famous. Ruben Studdard is the perfect example, the man won American Idol, and I haven't heard from him since. Whenever I see videos from these competition shows on my Facebook I wonder why nobody talked about the episode when it first aired. Little kids singing songs, sword swallowers, magicians, etc all have appeared on my timeline, but nobody talked about these people when they performed the act on TV. If I want to watch cool videos I can go on Youtube I don't need to see reruns from Talent shows on Facebook.
