Update February 14th 2017 – What Happened With My Facebook?

February 14th 2016 update video

Pretty much withdrew from Facebook. “Unfriended” all but family and people I see face to face/or chat and interact with on a day to day basis. Not all seem to understand my choice. Ah well. Here’s a video explaining some of it.

I’ll try to explain why I don’t consider “unfriending” on Facebook like “dropping” or “dumping” people as friends completely, as I think friendship and relationships are there regardless of Facebook or any other public platform and that there are many many ways of keeping in touch. But of course people might feel dropped and dumped. So if I have offended or hurt peoples feelings by emptying out my personal Facebook to a large degree then I am very sorry as that is something I would not like to have caused. I found it hard to do and found it also hard to be persistent and caved a couple of times. For me it was a toxic time waster that I couldn’t manage in my daily life and sucked away a lot of precious time I could be doing other things. So Facebook as a main hub to stay in touch doesn’t work well with my particular brain. I need to use other things. Like this website, YouTube itself, Skype, Twitter, Email and face to face communication. Especially the latter. For the Facebookians amongst you I do have a remaining facebook page called Lactobacillus’ World that you can find here:

This basically is an extension to my YouTube channel and will feature off the cuff content that’s not on the YouTube channel. There’s no Friendship required and it bascially functions like I want Facebook to function for me.

Thanks for being/having been a friend, Mark
