Coming Soon đ At the beginning of April, youâll be
introduced to a brand-new GoComics! See more information here. Subscribers, check your
email for more details.
1: If youâre getting a service for free, then YOU are whatâs being sold (usually advertising)
2: To keep overhead low when there are thousands of new users per âmomentâ, you have to simply never listen to the usersâ complaints⊠certainly not one on one. Because see #1.
PS: even Amazon is like this⊠and THEY actually need customers who actually buy things.
PPS: I wonder if I could hire an AI to deal with their Artificial Idiocy.
Theyâre hiding in their huge mansions that youâre paying for with your info that they sold to spammers, scammers, and all kinds of nefarious businesses like them.
Promotes your business all for nothing? Ha ha ha. Foolish Pig, they no show yours post to your own followers unless you is posting paid advertising. Their algorithm make sure of that. It all a biiig scam see. As for personal users, all your data and soul you is sold to the devil. Free me bear foots.
Recently, I purchased an item on Amazon, I received an email stating that the item had been delivered, handed to me and I had signed for it. None of this happened!!! When I called to question it, I was told under their policy they still had a 48 hour window to produce the item! What part of DELIVERED do they not understand?!!!!
Getting in touch with the administrators on sites like Facebook is much easier than, for example, LG. I wanted to contact them once to complain about an âupgradeâ to the OS, which, in my opinion, made things much worse. It took me a long time to find a contact form to send the complaint, and then two years passed before I got a response. And, after all that time, do you think they addressed the problem I was having? No. It was just a form letter saying something like âThank you for contacting us. We appreciate your feedback.â That was about a year ago, and I havenât heard from them since, and I donât expect to. But they did force a new âupdateâ, that made the same problem even worse. Iâll never buy anything from LG again.
I lost my email account because I didnât have a cell phone number I could give them. If I had a cell phone, I wouldnât have needed the email account.
Reminds me of the Good Olâ Days when you needed a driverâs license to rent a movie.
When you do finally get someone on the phone, itâs âFreddyâ from Bangalore. Over a lousy connection. With âSusieâ and âSamâ also jabbering in the background.
Computers are the works of the Devil. What! You donât believe me? How many times have you seen someone sitting at a computer keyboard taking the Lordâs name in vain? All the time. Perhaps even you.
True story: My bff had found a beautiful antique headboard four hours away from me. She talked to the owner, made plans, many texts, emails, even a live call! So excited! Address and price all disclosed, agreements and arrangements made to pick up. I drive two hours to BFF, another two to the given addy at the correct time. No show/no word by owner, no message, no nothing. Well. Awrighty then! Thanks to the availability of social media, we drove thru some of the most beautiful icy scenery, winter wonderland indeed, into a thunderstorm, then more snow, a sunny patch, then rain. On and off all the way home. We laughed, cried, giggled and had a grand lunch at a fabulous little tavern we happened onto off the beaten path. Social media led us into real life for the day and I have absolutely NO regrets. No headboard, either but⊠whatever⊠my bestie and I had a fabulous day, with memouries to talk about ⊠in real life :D
They wonât let me into Instagram if I donât own a cellphone to verify who I am. Apparently, a cellphone is the new ID card. (I tried to use my sisterâs cell number, sheâd call and tell me the verification code, but they saw it didnât match names.) And I canât get through to anyone at Instagram! (Correct. I donât own a cellphone.)
Never mind social media, tried to find the office to the local hospital, there isnât ONE!! They are virtual. This means you make a request/prayer/sacrifice to them and they may contact you if they feel like it!! With AI, I imagine all human contact will be obsolete!!
Simple, using the Command Prompt (Windows), ping their web address to get their IP address and enter it to to get the Web Master then bug him till he / she gives in. Patience? Heck! Attack!
I was once upset that I accidentally deleted all the saved posts on Facebook. I decided to text Mark Sucked very and and a while late my deleted saved posts returned! True story. :)

Pig is mistaken about two critical things:1.) Business accounts are not free. Those accounts pay to access to the product.2.) Users are the product. Thatâs why he canât find anyone to help him.

If thereâs no money involved: Youâre not a customer, so youâre the product or the unpaid worker.
If there is money involved you still might be.

Whatâs the big deal?
Allowing contact with an employee costs money!
Everyone knows that corporations are not making enough money.
.
Thatâs why there is no contact allowed. Also why we have inflation.

You have to contact them through social media. A different social media. Thatâs where they get you.

They are busy selling your information to hackers who will then destroy your account so youâll have to create a new one (I speak from experience).
