Young/Tech Savvy People: Who Is This and Why Is She Dancing Every Time I Open Facebook?

[blaseblase]

Okay, Mayberry. I realize that I'm going to sound like an 80-year-old Luddite, but I need an answer to this, and I know that you young people and tech/social media savvy Internet folks will have an answer for me. Every time I go to Facebook, it seems like it gets harder and harder to see what Friends are posting. Instead of being able to scroll down and view what my Friends are posting, I'm always bombarded by videos, ads, pages, etc., that I've never heard of let alone visited. At this point, my page will open with a new post from a Friend and then I'll have to scroll for what feels like 10 minutes (past Babe Ruth in the kitchen with his wife, a dude with no shirt on doing dumbbell laterals, a picture of old Chicago, ads for restaurants, etc.) before I run into another post from a Friend.

Adblock has been a thing for 15 years, boomer.

1) facebook reels are just rehashed tiktoks 100% of the time

2) the reels / tiktoks are functionally just ads to promote her OF

3) she should invite one of her friends over to work the camera for her prawn content, because judging from what's out there on free sites her boyfriend is really bad at camera work

It’s scammers trying to latch onto an OF chick. Only took a second to find her and see her in all her naked glory.

Hey, I forgot about this thread. Thanks for all the answers. For an update, I no longer see this girl. She's apparently been replaced by some blonde chick jumping rope.

Yeah, some weebs are into that shit.

“Ahegao (アヘ顔) is a term in Japanese pornography for a facial expression of characters (usually women) during sexual arousal or an orgasm, typically with rolling or crossed eyes, protruding tongue, and slightly reddened face, to show enjoyment or ecstasy. The style is often used in erotic manga, anime(hentai), and video games (erogē)”

This is something that I would've never gotten to the bottom of, but I appreciate the information. Hands down the most bizarre trend that I've seen in my years on the Internet. I get animation porn more than I get this shit. Nobody else blurs porn, so why would anyone else in the world follow any of the bizarre trends in Japanese shit, especially one as stupid and off-putting as this? I know that we're not supposed to "kink shame," but who would like this and why?

Hmmm, even though I'm using an ad blocker, if I go to a thread that's created by a mod, I get ads.

The fuck is this shit?

Trust me, we don't get kickbacks. That has nothing to do with who starts a thread, who's a mod or plat or admin, etc.

Just kidding. I have no idea how this works. You can check in the Support forum to see if there's a way to avoid (certain or all) ads.

It’s cuz you’re watching the videos that are auto playing lmao. Don’t pretend you don’t like it.

I would see the videos as I scrolled, but I didn't click on any of them. Are you saying that Facebook considers seeing something watching it and then they just inundate you with it? I didn't click the videos specifically because I was worried that clicking them would make them keep showing up, as I know that's how the YouTube algorithm works with recommendations. (I also had this conversation about Tik Tok with a friend, who's convinced it can track "watch time" even if you're not actively searching for/clicking on shit.) But what would I have to do on Facebook? Close my eyes while I scroll so the bots don't see my eyes and think I'm watching the shit that they're pumping into people's feeds?

Don't get me wrong, I'll watch a random chick do stiff-leg deadlifts in her underwear like any other red-blooded male, but little pedo-baiting-looking girls crossing their eyes to unlistenable music isn't my thing.

I have two adblockers, but those can't affect Facebook shit...can they?

Facebook, tiktok, and youtube all record all of your activity on the page / application. They know when you scroll, how fast you scroll, when you stopped mid scroll for 0.6 seconds, everything. They can tell if you hovered but didn't click.

Facebook and tiktok have also gotten caught stealing a ton of data even outside of the application.

They're insanely insecure. Facebook can access your microphone and gps data even when the application is closed. They keep getting sued over shit like this in the EU.

They absolutely track how long you watch before you scroll. You don’t have to close your eyes. You just have to scroll past it… and not take your time watching it lmao.

If it was an ad for knitted sweaters you would scroll past in like .1 seconds. You can admit you’re taking your sweet time watching those videos lmaoo

It’s mostly for the chronically online and teenagers.
They might think looking silly or stupid is cute.
The girls that do that shit are almost always super hot and really good at make up/dressing though

go to your icon -> settings -> preferences -> media -> autoplay off.

there is a similar setting for the phone, to shut autoplay off.

if you're concerned about the YT algorithm, it's not that simple, if you're autoplay is on for x amount of seconds, it counts as a view and goes towards your viewing history and boom, you got the algorithm triggered. FB likely does the same with even less amount of time required since FB viewers typically watch a lot less video on that platform.

This is a silly argument to be having with a stranger on an Internet forum, so I'm not going to try to convince you that I don't like those videos or that retarded face.

I don't know, man. "Silly," "stupid," "cute," I wouldn't use any of those words to describe the tongue out/eyes crossed look. The girls look demented, like they're mentally retarded or suffered brain damage or something. Good make up or fashion doesn't make those facial expressions less gross and weird. Other kink trends, for lack of a better term, even if it's not my thing, I at least get it at some level. I don't get this one.

Awesome, thanks for the heads-up. I just changed my settings

Every time I go to Facebook, it seems like it gets harder and harder to see what Friends are posting.

I'm guessing that this is Zuckerberg/Meta trying to lure me down various ad/algorithm rabbit holes. But I've never clicked on any of this. I don't know any of the groups or pages or whatever that these posts are coming from. I don't know how any of it is getting to me. I'm thinking that this is generated by Facebook - and it's impervious to adblockers/popup blockers - rather than any sort of targeted shit based on my Facebook clicking habits.

Which brings me to this. Literally EVERY time I go to Facebook, I see this chick doing retarded dances. You'd think that she was my longest, best, and most frequently followed Friend on the site with how pervasive her presence is. But I'm not even sure she's real. That is, I'm not sure that she's the one making any of these pages. Because I noticed that the same girl doing the same dances is on a million different pages. And some of the videos are really fucking bizarre, like uncomfortable weird, porn-lite/pedo-bait shit that makes me wonder where this is coming from and who it's for. (And she's always crossing her eyes like she's literally mentally challenged. Is this what people think is hot now?) They're all short and they have shitty music, so my first thought was Tiktok, but why would Tiktok videos be on Facebook? I know that YouTube has started shoving 20-second videos at me like Instagram/Tiktok, but I get why those videos show up on my home page because they're all based on my viewing history. I'm subscribed to comedian YT channels, so I see a ton of short joke videos from the comedians I'm subscribed to. That makes sense. This doesn't. I don't know what Facebook is doing with this weird girl.

Facebook

www.facebook.com

Those are all the same girl. I'd say that it was some bot shit, but no matter who/what is generating these Facebook pages, that girl has to be filming all those videos. Who is she and why is she everywhere? She's not famous, because I only see her on Facebook, but since she's not famous, that makes her ubiquity even stranger. What is this and why is it all over Facebook? Does anyone else see shit like this, or even see this same girl? Is it China or Russia trying to digitally control us with T&A? Do Instagram models get rewarded for followers by getting spammed on Facebook?

I know that people are going to make fun of me for even still being on Facebook, but seriously, this is very weird to me and I'm not in the know, so, if you would be so kind, Mayberry...

This is happened to me exactly the same way as it happened to you. I have no wonder as to why.

 

[Hog-train]

There's a whole bunch of TikTok celebrities who got famous just posting themselves dancing. I don't get it.

 

[Bullitt68]

This is happened to me exactly the same way as it happened to you. I have no wonder as to why.

Did you experience this phenomenon or did you literally get bombarded with the same girl? Because I haven't seen her even once since I originally posted this thread...which also kind of creeps me out because it's like the Facebook algorithm read this thread, realized that I was onto it, and went back under digital ground.

You've watched it at some point, Facebook knows if you scroll past or not. Now that you. You're the dude who watches her videos.

Social media is really a ramp up or the be careful of what you pay your attention to. The feedback loop is nearly instant.

 

[PBAC]

Facebook is flooding your posts with general interest threads to hide that your feed is inactive.

it goes
1. Friends
2. Groups
3. Likes
4. General topics

If your friends are inactive you see groups, if the groups are inactive you see updates around your likes, if your likes are inactive you see somewhat targeted general topics based around what interested you prior.
