AntiSocial Networking (Part3)


More brainstorming last night on HateBook and AntiSocial networking in general. Revenue generation would come from targeted advertising based on what people don't like. If the user dislikes Microsoft, you throw up banner ads for Apple products or Linux, if you want to go there. Let me see, if you hate to read, throw up some ads for People Magazine and Wheel of Fortune and Dane Cook albums.

Also, web three-dot-oh is all about "DisconnectWorking." It's where you use other people's dislikes to remind you of stuff that you don't like. You may have left something off your list, you never know. There are also the Influencers (marketing term) that you could just trust in their dislikes as yours because you trust their disjudgement.

The thing is, fuck all this eco, sustainability, live forever bullshit. Fuck all this everything is fine and everything's going to be okay. Have you read a fucking newspaper? Have you picked your head up and looked around? Take your iPod headphones out and just listen for a second.

Any cup that is half full is still half empty and wipe the fucking smile off your face and at least acknowledge it. I'm not promoting the development of a negative, toxic personality. I'm just saying that you should at least be introduced to that other side that you are trained from the point of being a child to ignore and suppress. Acknowledge it and know that it is there. Learn from it. Promote change from within by understanding the feelings and in turn quelling them.

It happens. You hate things. At the bare minimum, if you say you hate nothing, you may hate hate. Now, some people refrain from using the word hate as it does come across as pretty harsh, but then again some people misuse hate to say they dislike things like, "I hate carrots." Who could hate carrots? Anyway, it's a two-way street. It's a misused word and it just got dirtier with the popularity and prolific use of the word "HateCrime" in modern media.

Also, if you are not getting the satire part of this, I can help you.
