Facebook Considers Dislike Button? | My Opinion

That's right, folks, the creator of Facebook, Mark Zuckerberg, is considering installing a DISLIKE button. All I have to say is: WHY?! In my personal opinion, I think it's a very bad idea. This installment could only lead to more cyber bullying and trolling. According to Zuckerberg, he stated that the site would have to find a way to make sure it didn't become a way to demean people's posts., but how are you going to control what people do with a DISLIKE post? What is the point of it? It's so negative. Do you really want a list of all the things you DISLIKE on your page? Is that really what you want to focus on? Seeing all the things that irritate you or bring you down isn't going to lift you up and make your day better, it's only going to... keep bringing you down! And can you imagine how you would feel if one of YOUR posts got a dislike? I know I wouldn't like it! I think it can only cause more negativity and more stress. What happened to: If you don't like it, keep scrolling! (?) Why do we choose to focus on the negative? There's already a cyber bullying dilemma, so why are we trying to fan the flames? If you think it is a bad idea, then please speak out about it, too! Let's strive to create a more positive & inspiring world. Please share this post with your friends and feel free to post the link or a screen shot of this article in your own blog or social media as a reference. Thank you! :)


Mark Zuckerberg's video post about why they don't have a dislike button on Facebook:

He explains that sometimes clicking a like on something sad doesn't feel comfortable, and
we do need something to express an appropriate emotion, but we need something to do it
in a positive way, and not something that could be misused to demean someone's posts. He
goes on to explain about the positivity issue, as well! I'm so glad he sees it that way, too!

My Experience | Encouragement For Discouraged YouTubers

Hello my friends! I've feeling kind of discouraged over my YouTube channel for a while. (I'm guessing that if you're reading this, perhaps you're in the same boat? I just want to let you know that it's going to be okay!) I was feeling like my videos just sucked; that they weren't professional enough, helpful, or even that entertaining. I felt like nobody was watching. But then I started going through some REALLY old videos of mine (and removing some of them), and I realized by watching them just how much I've progressed from that, the days where the lighting and my editing skills weren't that good (hellooo: shaky camera & voice over feedback, anyone?!), where I could only upload up to 30 seconds, or where the lighting was bad, and the quality wasn't that clear, and sometimes I didn't even bother to add music (or let's face it.. get off my bed for a freaking vlog!) I realized that my videos are much better today, and I also realized that they will be even better in the future. Being a YouTuber is a work in progress. I'm always progressing, AND I always WILL if I keep at it. No matter how many people try to bring me down, or used to try to bring me down, I won't give up, because making and producing videos is something that I'm PASSIONATE about, and if you love something, whether it's a person or a job or whatever, YOU never let it go or abandon it. So if you're ever down on yourself about your skills or something that you love doing, just remember that you're getting better each day, and you're better than you were yesterday; practice, practice! You may not be there yet, but you're sure as hell closer than you were yesterday, my friends! Don't give up, and I definitely won't be giving up! Stay your beautiful self! ~Amy

American Horror Story: Freakshow | Most Disappointing Episode? S4E9 (Spoilers: None - Mild)

I'm going to try to write a post that doesn't give away spoilers (for once?) I know I usually give a ton of spoilers when I Live Blog 'Sex and the City' and also 'The Carrie Diaries', but this one is going to be different because it's a much better show. American Horror Story. I've been watching the show for months now, and Season 4 just premiered in October, so I've been watching it whenever I can. And I've never live blogged it (or just regularly blogged about it), but last night's episode was so shocking, such a twist, that I feel the need to blog about how I'm feeling about it. I'm not going to say what happened, as I realize that there are going to be a ton of people who have not yet seen Episode 9: , so it's just going to be some of my thoughts. Let me be completely clear, I'm not disappointed in the show or the episode (it was still a pretty good episode), but I'm very disappointed in Jimmy, and I'm sure that his mother would be, too, if she knew what was going on. I have never once had anything (ANYTHING) to complain about in any of the episode ever, although there were some things I wish didn't happen, like the children murders in season 1, but that adds to the backstory, of course. But THIS? No. It should not have been written in there and it was absolutely horrid and disgusting, and in very bad taste. I feel as if Jimmy knows better and would never do such a thing, so what he does in this episode seems very out of character for him. I'm disappointed, but I hope he will bounce back in Episode 10 and regain trust and clear his name. That is all. Thanks for reading!
