Is there a guide to social networks and shit? I've been living under a rock for a while, no fb Instagram or snapchat or whatever. I get the general idea behind them, but how do you get followers and likes and shit?
I realize how autistic this question is
Use them and be social
Fuck social media. It’s a huge waste of time and literally serves 0 purpose other than giving posers the attention they so desperately crave. Don’t feel like you’re missing out on this gay bullshit that Mark Fuckerberg pushes
Here's my /g/uide: all socials networks are botnets. Avoid at any cost. Veeky Forums is okay, though.
Basically this. Most people waste many hours each day on these. I think they feel more social this way.
it depends how you want to use them.
get twitter or Instagram if you want to know what famous people do with their lives.
get Snapchat if you want to talk to friends
Get SC and get tons of nudes brah
I literally gave up porn and replaced it with kik
What do people do on Snapchat?
Hey OP, I work for a marketing firm that works closely with social media and teenagers. I could answer all your questions.
Snapchat's main feature is to send pictures that can only be viewed for a certain amount of time before you can't view it again.
There's also "stories," a picture or video you can upload that anyone that you've added can view for 24 hours.
I unironically need this too. I never got a snapchat or instagram because of no friends and boring life. Now that I'm doing more with my life, I want to put that out there so I don't look like a friendless autist.
>so I don't look like a friendless autist.
Your 0 snapchat profile score and instagram followers will make that clear anyway
Quick question
How do you follow someone? do they need to add you individually?
I can't imagine all these esluts adding thousands of people yet they have massive followings
Add loads of cunts you don't know and read their stories until you hit 5k
Snapchat is god-tier for talking to girls, install that shit.
Fuck facebook, only boomers use that shit and it's a giant botnet.
I
What the fuck is a profile score
There's a setting for stories. You can choose everyone, or just friends. Obviously the eSluts choose everyone, so they don't have to add you back and you can still view their story.
What the fuck is happening to Veeky Forums
You are all losers.
The only one you need to concern yourself with is snapchat. Everything else is retarded. Unless you are like 30+, then get facebook too because older bitches only use FB and SMS.
Snapchat is god-tier for flirting and sending and receiving nudes
>gave up porn for kik
PEDO ALERT
Get Snapchat to flirt with hoes, get instagram to post pictures of yourself looking j00cy
Who else just can't get into social media like instagram and snapchat?
I'm a reserved person and just can't wrap my head around taking pics and showing my life off to everybody. I hate when people start randomly snapping when we're just sitting around and talking. Who the fuck wants to see that anyway?
People who use snapchat like that are obnoxious as fuck. Snapchat should be used for sending dick pics, and pics asking what bitches are doing
either orbit girls online and be one of 1000s or chat them up irl and have a real chance
Social media is not social at all despite the name.
>How do you follow someone? do they need to add you individually?
You add someone by adding their username. Of course, there's certain levels of privacy, like if they have to be a mutual friend to see your story or send you snaps.
>I can't imagine all these esluts adding thousands of people yet they have massive followings
See above. Also, for accounts with a large following, you can simply subscribe to them, which is the equivalent to adding but they don't receive a notification for that because they'd get spammed.
It's a summary of all the times you've sent anything, picture/video and messages, and possibly the amount of views on your story.
This is why I never got into this shit. We were just born at the wrong time user.
use it to subconsciously compare your life to the lives that others want people to see, and become misanthropic and depressed.
don't use it if you like actually being social.
How do you sleep at night?
What a waste of time, don't even use snapchat to flirt with girls. What a waste of time. Just use tinder and text.
I don't sleep
Same here, man. I'm over here telling people to just e-mail or text me and getting blank stares all around.
Instagram will get you laid more than any other social media site in the world.
Building a good profile will make girls fall in love with you
Useless reply, but in today's age, having social media allows others to see your social standing, and a unique way to contact you.
snapchat is fucking great for getting nudes though.
This, without a doubt. Posting about 3 times a week is good enough.
Forgot to mention I don't judge them for using it. I wish I could get into it myself so I'd have a better chance to get qties. There's just some kind of block in my mind that even taking selfies feels weird
Yeah but nudes though? What do you get with nudes? It's a waste of time, don't settle for nudes, gun for the pussy user
how about once every 3 months
dont look like a tryhard
were you in jail OP?
(I don't have social media or a smartphone either, but that's just because of ideological / aesthetic objections.).
yeah, I feel it. plus privacy shit. not like a reasoned analysis of "well, here's who can see my pics", it just feels all wrong
Once every three months isn't enough. At least once every week is best.
I just use facebook so people can easily contact me when they need to. That's it. For hookups or whatever, tinder and text.
You can have both. Nudes are good for a bit of a tease before the main event.
i love twitter and instagram. fb is okay for msging
i honestly never post anything on ig. i just follow ppl that inspire me and friends.
twitter is great but again i only share yt vids i like.
i hate snapchat.
ig story > snapchat
OP here.
How to build a bigger circle of followers organically? How often to post, what to post? I'm reasonably joocy, so gym/body pics? Me doing hobbies? Who the fuck takes those pictures for people anyways, a lot of popular people seem to have a literal professional photographer around. I'm reasonable autistic, I hear that you can time when and what to post for max exposure, anywhere I can read up on that? Goals are basically ego and sluts. Should I just look at large accounts and try and follow what they do?
How to build a good profile?
I had fb a few years back before deleting it because botnet. Missed the train on the rest, most of the stuff wasn't that popular where I was, 90% was fb. Now I moved half way across the world in a major college town and everybody is using it and I'm that grandpa that nobody can't get in contact with. Plus I look way better now, so sloots. I realize how shallow my reasoning is, but such is life.
So to summarize
>IG for fancy best of pics
>Snapchat for super casual stuff and nudes
>KIK same as snapchat or something?
My general questions are how to do that well and how to grow the network?
First user here.
>How to build a bigger circle of followers organically?
Organically, it's going to be slow. Starting from scratch will be really difficult. Ideally, you want to add others that you know have Instagram so your account is exposed to them and their friends can add you. You can also use a ton of hashtags, which allows any user to see pictures with that hashtag. However, this may not be your style.
>How often to post, what to post?
I recommend once a week, no more than three times a week. Others will recommend once every two weeks. Your choice as long as it's not every day or even every other day. However, since you'll have a new account, posting every other day is fine until about 9 pictures.
>I'm reasonably joocy, so gym/body pics?
If you'd like to give that appearance, then go ahead. However, some regular non-gym but aesthetic pictures of you would be nice.
>Me doing hobbies?
Your choice, but I also recommend depending on them.
>Who the fuck takes those pictures for people anyways, a lot of popular people seem to have a literal professional photographer around.
In the age of good quality phone camera and easy photo editing software, it's a lot easier than you think.
>I'm reasonable autistic, I hear that you can time when and what to post for max exposure, anywhere I can read up on that?
Apparently early morning, around afternoon, and early evening are the best times. For what to post, see above. Like I've said, hashtags increase exposure but it may not be your style.
>Should I just look at large accounts and try and follow what they do?
Not necessarily, although you should look at what they generally post and the quality of their pictures.
>How to build a good profile?
See above
>KIK same as snapchat or something?
KIK is simply another messaging app. It allows you to message others, send pictures and videos, and also be in group chats. Almost no different in function to regular texting.
Also, for extremely good quality pictures, it wouldn't hurt to ask some sort of amateur photographer to take pictures of you. If they can edit the picture, ask them to do so and see if you'll like it.
If not, you can edit it yourself using Adobe Lightroom.
You get points for being active and sending/receiving stuff, so basically if you have a high score you're popular.
Like this soyboy has a score of 8359, and everyone he's friends with can see it as far as I know. My sister has 390780 points, and she's not even a Stacy. So if you make a new profile and you have like 53 points you're basically a friendless loser, and girls would rather snap with their popular guy friends than associate with you.
>Veeky Forums - Fitness
How do I make score gainz?
>Organically, it's going to be slow. Starting from scratch will be really difficult.
I have like 10 irl people that I can start with, some from gym, some from hobbies. Are there other options than organic growth? Using bots feels counterproductive. Do people randomly follow friends of friends? I assume getting tagged with people helps. Again, my main goal is to reach as much of the 50k uni sloots, not necessarily get likes and shit. Although, I'm curious, is there "street cred" for shit ton of likes, do normies really associate that with success? I remember it being important on fb.
>If you'd like to give that appearance, then go ahead. However, some regular non-gym but aesthetic pictures of you would be nice.
I'm not making a fitness channel, I just want sloots to know I look good. Hobbies, travel, food, occasional shirtless pic, is that OK for a balanced appearance?
Either that or I'll get some artsy friends. Btw use a trip if you reply pls
That's.. . That's some black mirror shit, jesus. How do you even get that shit up? I'm not sure I want to have snapchat after this but nudes tempt me. Still tho, jesus.
Here's my tripcode
>I have like 10 irl people that I can start with, some from gym, some from hobbies.
Ten is enough for now. It's fine, but it'll be slower. If you allow access to your contacts, you'll be able to add everyone who has Instagram in your contacts book.
>Are there other options than organic growth? Using bots feels counterproductive.
This is another morality question. Buying likes and followers will make it seem as if you are more popular, but it is a lie. If you buy followers, they'll be inactive ones, meaning they won't comment and like your posts. Do you want to seem more popular at the cost of lies or do you want to have genuine followers and likes?
>Do people randomly follow friends of friends? I assume getting tagged with people helps.
Yes, following on Instagram isn't very intimate. Getting tagged does help, as it allows others to identify you and find your profile.
>Again, my main goal is to reach as much of the 50k uni sloots, not necessarily get likes and shit.
With a good profile, that'll come.
>Although, I'm curious, is there "street cred" for shit ton of likes, do normies really associate that with success?
Somewhat, genuine likes and followers correlate with general popularity and how many people know them. Think of it as the popular kid at the highschool. It can also help determine how social, interesting, or active you are.
>I'm not making a fitness channel, I just want sloots to know I look good. Hobbies, travel, food, occasional shirtless pic, is that OK for a balanced appearance?
Yes, of course. In fact, I like this better than a gym based account. People want to know you, and see you, so they can judge you and even develop an attraction for you.
What if I'm hot
Have you been /convictmode/ for a while?
OP, so-called 'social media' is anything but, it's CANCEROUS, it's not 'social', it gives you an excuse to stay away from actual people, and all 'social media' sites just scrape your posts and 'likes' and shit you click on for data they sell to other companies, and you get nothing in return but a false sense of 'community' and a complete lack of exercise for your actual social skills, making you even more socially awkward than you already are.
GO OUTSIDE instead, and be 'social' with actual people in actual social settings instead, and stay off the Internet as much as possible.
>What if I'm hot
Well then you should have a lot of points.
Since you don't you're either friendless, or have obviously made a new account only for sending and receiving nudes. I'm sure some girls are fine with that, but I bet a profile with lots of points is worth more.
Post eth address if you have one
>Yes, of course. In fact, I like this better than a gym based account. People want to know you, and see you, so they can judge you and even develop an attraction for you.
That's funny, because most of this seems like just a front, basically just a fluffed up CV of my social life. Either way, thanks a lot for answering my questions, I'll start working on dem meme gains.
Since I haven't explicitly denied that, no I haven't I've just been living under a rock in a country where things beside fb aren't that popular and I've moved to a place where not having 5 social media accounts is like not having a phone.
I'm not socially awkward though, I just don't have the will or luxury to quit my job and mingle with college students to "socialize" irl while they compulsively refresh social.
>while they compulsively refresh social
You're ignoring what I'm telling you. 'Social Media' nonsense like Facebook is a TRAP, it's CANCER, it will do NOTHING for your actual life in reality, you're just a 'product' to companies like Facebook. If you want to be 'social' you have to GO OUTSIDE and BE SOCIAL. Internets aren't real. All those fuckers on Facebook may as well be robots, AIs posting random shit, not actual people.
I know you think you're redpilling me here, but you're not saying anything I don't know. I've deleted fb before "fb is botnet" meme was alive. I just wanna play the game bruh because I don't care anymore.
It really is. The better your projected life is on social media, the better their perspective of you from their judgement.
It's basically attention-whoring on a level, except you're going to get people to actually like you.
>It's basically attention-whoring on a level, except you're going to get people to actually like you.
I feel so old.
Anyways post ETH nigga, I wanna buy you a beer with some memecoins
*shrug* enjoy your ruined life of no privacy whatsoever, being profiled by asshole corporations and the government, and literally getting NOTHING for your trouble. You may as well just bust a cap into your dome, it's less painful and quicker.
You're fine. You'll catch up.
Also, unfortunately, I don't have a ETH wallet address.
...
>There's also "stories," a picture or video you can upload that anyone that you've added can view for 24 hours.
WhatsApp now has the same feature, why no one in my contact list uses it?
That's because Snapchat was the first major social media company to implement Stories, and it was successful. Other companies like Facebook and Instagram tried to add that feature, but Snapchat is still the most popular.
Are pics of you taken by other people better than selfies?
It means you’re a human unlike all the other meat sacks playing at being cool and celebrities like every single person on these shit social media apps.
Lmao who would want to associate with people that value others based on some SC points. These normie fags in my class are snapping every moment they can for some streak bs or whatever. Fuckin hell, even thots are not worth that kind of stupid trouble
how do these social media companies get their users? like this snapchat that no one had ever heard of suddenly got billions users in just a few days and now everyone knows it.
>tfw don't have an instagram but should make one
Why? I mean with Snapchat I see the appeal, but I don't understand why the average person would need an Instagram account at all.
instagram is a lot easier to connect to others than Facebook. the whole "add friend"thing versus "following" comes across as less of a commitment so people do it a lot easier.
I am sure I wont make one but still think about it from time to time
Fuck social media that doesn't promote the expansion of knowledge over fake as shit "friends"
Hey so you have kik or something?
I need to know more about social media.
>pls respond
depends what you are trying to show in the pic
I think you're over thinking social media to an extreme degree
Op dont be a faggot, dont waste your time on those shitty apps, if you are here posting it means you ain't a normie fag,and if you are a faggot you should start doing shit in /Soc/ so you can learn a little more about how they work , but to be honest is just a big waste of time which most people use because they fear to feel alone which can be as autistic as here or even worse, not kidding.
I turned off my facebook account many years back, along with a twitter one I didn't really use. Best thing I ever done. I watched as these other social media platforms became big and I understood generally what they were about but none of it is at all appealing to me anymore. I remember I would just scroll through the facebook feed looking at what other people were posting and I came to a sudden realisation that I was literally wasting my life away just reading what other people wanted me to read about themselves. It's nothing but a tool for other people to glorify themselves on, you're better off without it..
this is bs. no one looks at or even care about your score. also your sister is probably a slut, post pics
hi op, you may not have realised it but you're posting on the Fitness board.
I assume you did this by accident because this post has absolutely nothing to do with fitness. I trust you'll take more care in future :)
>t. sociallets
You literally only need one, messanger or Whatsapp or whatever to send messages/pics with gf, friends whatever.
Everything else is a pure waste of time
