Facebooks Wants Your Change by Kathryn Merrifield

So here we are with a gripping article about Facebook...  again.

http://nationalreport.net/facebook-begins-charging-users-2-99mo/

$2.99 per month.  No, I won't pay!  You greedy social networking creeps!

But, you know I might have to. 

Jerks. 

Someone go free on me again.  Then build me up to connect socially to friends, former classmates I haven't seen since my 1998 New York migration, help me stay connected with my relocating friends, family AND everyone! 

Then charge me two dollars and ninety nine cents per month and listen to me bitch about it.

That says a lot about consumer loyalty, my friends. 

Good ain't free.

How much have you saved in postage?  Remember that thing called the US Postal Service? 

How about printing out rolls of film for that one good pic out of 24-36 exposures (23-35 of which SUCKED) that you then have to fill... out... a... form to reprint specific negatives for a fee - then wait for them and send with a $3.99-$5.99 Hallmark Card and pay extra postage for that little bit extra trim size to accommodate your 4X6's or 5X7's to protect them... with cardboard... for extra durability and... cents toward stamps you have to tear off, lick and adhere to one upper righthand corner.

None of that here.  

You have free photo albums, you ingrates!  When is the last time you bought a scrapbook, for Godssake?

This is my message.  Cheap is cheap.  I spend a lot of time working for free because that's part of the job.  

It's actually part of both of my jobs, and part of my quite obviously meticulously-planned life and business plan.

Regardless, I've visited loyalty and not.  And there's a lot of not and that's not the lot of my world at all.  I'm old school and everyone should be.... (blah-blah-blah-blah..... [stop yourself because someone may be insulted by their own bad behavior]).

Lack of loyalty is flat-out heartless.

I'll pay my $2.99, thanks.  And you can steal all of my info Mr. Z, because I have not one thing to hide, Facebook.

It's part of the value-added program of how not to be an asshole in Year 2014.

Human value.  Like it or not.  That's all it is.

Of course, the good thing is… out of all of this...  Fappy the Anti-Masturbation Dolphin and Mansato could not survive (yer messing with me but it’s funny) without this is probably the worst bit of logic ever attributed to an article trying to buoy a FB forward-thinking business plan.  You may as well just be a flasher.

Let’s do it for the dolphins!  For Mansanto (wait, against it… I’m not sure)!  Save the earth!  World peace!

It’s a cause.

Now go to your room wearing your best red-pleated, white polka-dot skit…  Because that’s the way it works.

Pay your $2.99 and calm down and enjoy what you have.

Or just be really quiet and don’t say too much… and maybe you’ll go unnoticed and won't have to pay... one... dime.  Ssshhhhhh!
