4:56 I think I know what’s going on in that one clipped video. He is making some kind of wine or alcohol. He puts the boots in the wok to sanitize them so he can use them to crush whatever fruit he had there. Then he takes that fruit pulp and places stones on top to squeeze the juice out of them. Then he assembles those clay vessels into what looks like a distillery which is used to separate alcohol from a liquid mixture by its boiling point. Granted it doesn’t show him ever fermenting the juice, but that’s my best guess.
I tried reporting a post on FB that asked for people's social security numbers by saying, "If you had as much money as your social security number, how much would you have?" Three people had commented their full socials. FB 'found no issue' with it. It's a shitshow over there.
There are people out there valiantly trying to stop folks from doing that. I still get a lot of "your friend commented on this post" stuff where the post is basically just asking for security question answers.
I got SAed. I posted a screenshot of the guy who did it to me to warn others in my area and Facebook put me in jail for 30 days for harassment and bullying. They are a huge joke
8:17 I love this video, because if it was true, the uniform paints an amazing story. The story of a guy whose been in the marines for at least 3 years (probably 4 or 5) and told everyone he was in the Navy instead. During this time, he either never promoted past, or was busted down to E2 (you automatically promote to E3 after just *existing* for 18 months), indicating that he is almost comically terrible at his job. This man was "deployed", and hasn't seen his girlfriend for 3 years, and upon hearing she's pregnant, just assumes its his. After all this, he still thinks his career is illustrious enough for him to show up in his dress uniform, and propose during the ultrasound as if he's a war hero.
It's even funnier if you factor in the fact that the ultrasound wand is a thermometer. So, she is trying to baby trap him (probably for the Tricare), and realized that he is dumb enough that she doesn't even have to actually be pregnant to do it. And because this guy is dumber than Forrest Gump, it somehow works.
@@sarahscarborough3942really I was thinking her boyfriend has been gone for three years and she’s pregnant and he’s all fine with it, even though she’s been gone for 3 years and wasn’t the one who got her pregnant lol
The "navy boyfriend" video was hilarious because: - that sonogram machine was a thermometer - they would have been married already if it was an actual military couple, ain't no one passing up that free health-care, especially pregnant. - the too big cover/hat - the unbuttoned Marine Corps dress uniform for the Navy boyfriend
My most recent facebook feed filler has been ai generated pictures of girls with cakes that are captured “I made it myself” and they’re like 5 and the cake is of wedding quality
You mean you didn't spend 400 dollars and bake a 5 tier gourmet chocolate red velvet from scratch cake with organic cream cheese frosting that has the piping of a professional patisserie when you were 6 years old?
I’m so glad Temu decided to bring FarmVille back to life. The modern internet was really missing the ‘Spam all your contacts to grow virtual crops’ that was so prevalent in the early 2000’s
I thought it was going to be the scam I saw where you had to join Temu to get special download codes for the newer Pokemon games. Thats not how Pokemon distributes those codes. They just post them on social media.
@@JamesLawner Yeah I played in 2008 b/c my neighbor friend got me into it. I was pregnant and stuck at home so figured why not haha I'm embarrassed to admit I spent real money on that game sometimes... ahh good times.
I've had 3 separate times where people impersonated a facebook friend - which is part of a scam - and 2 of those times the friend was dead, and when I reported the account facebook is like "since this is about your friend, we'll follow up with them!" like okay I hope your ouija board is ready.
Happened to my dead mother's FB. When she died, I tried to lock her account but FB wanted copies of legal documents I didn't have atm. It got reported a lot so her account got deleted. They've made it a lot easier now to lock accounts as memorials
This happened with my Grandma’s account… she sent a message to my brother, “Hello! How are you?” And my brother sent back, “You know you died six months ago, right?” He was left on read 😂
Lol what a stupid comment, you can literally go out and buy your own social security number for literal pennies. They dont need your phone number to steal your identity. At the beginning of august 2.7 billion entries were stolen from the background checking company National Public Data. All of that data was posted for free online. If your identity is going to be stolen it wont be from some shmuck trying low ball you on some ikea furniture. Educate yourself before making stuff up. It might end up being more believable.
That ultrasound wand is actually a thermometer. I literally use them at work. They didn't even look up what the wand even looks like. Watching him rub that thing over her stomach SENT ME

I refuse to believe they are making any money. If I think they're not making any it helps me sleep. Not to say I don't want people to make money but, I feel like it SHOULD take SOME effort.
Yeah, I hear you. Sometimes, when I see those kinds of videos, I catch myself thinking, "I wish I had no morals like these people so I can make millions through scams..." Then I chastise myself for having such disgusting thoughts. I would never want to hurt another person like that.
@@ChristopherSadlowskimy husband and I were just talking about this - how much money you can make scamming people - but you have to have zero ethics. That’s not us.
To me the worst part about facebook is that you never ever see anything a friend posts, and if you do it was from something multiple days ago, even if you used the app then you would never see the post. Instead they shove "suggested" groups and posts on your feed filled with complete garbage. The entire app is basically unusable, and if it wasn't for the events and friends I message on there I would have gotten rid of the entire thing years ago.
I see stuff that like 3 friends post, but never anything from the other 63 living friends on there. And for the pages I follow, it'll show me the same post 7 times a day for a week but not the other 30 posts from that page. So annoying!
I unliked every page and left every group and started seeing friends again The same six friends, constantly, interspersed with pages FB keeps trying to make me enjoy I hop on there about once a week, MAYBE. It literally only exists cuz some folks I know I can only contact thru FB :(
Yes. I don't see anything from anyone I actually follow unless i specifically search for it, no matter how many times i just their settings like "see first" and "see more like this" i will never see it lol. They were showing me those videos with the navy/marine actor guy the other day 😂 or the ones where a white woman dumps 15 ingredients on her counter and smears it around calling it cooking.
holy shit, that guy at 13:01 he was a regular creep at my cinema and he actually groped an actress and got banned for a year or two at the cinema. He was super creepy to all the under age girls and would message my manager on facebook horrible stuff and the cinema never did anything about it even with multiple complaints from staff about safety. It was one of the many reasons I left the company.
I downloaded Facebook for the first time ever recently- and the STANDARD explore page (without me doing anything like searching or following people) was full of scarcely clothed AI generated women and full of comments with old men commenting things like "Beautiful 😍". It was the weirdest thing I've ever experienced.
@@DaddyRatchet23 damn, that is SO accurate. Every comment is like "there u do it to me again, belle.. u know what this does to me we talked about this 🤣🤣 hope your doing well haha.. we have lots of rain here this week but your photo is like the sun to me 😜🤣 regards 😘"
To be fair, I downloaded instagram for the first time ever recently and my discover page was was pretty similar. I think that kind of content is just taking over, especially if the app has nothing else to go off of. I wish they'd just go back to only showing you accounts you follow
My granny's facebook page has been overtaken with thousands of fake male celebrities that interact with their "fans" and flirt with lonely old people to try and scam them out of stuff. I block and report tons of them every week but they just keep coming back
At this point it's just a scary place you don't want your grandma to be unless you can get into her account and block/lock it so she can only communicate with friends and family.
Yesss. I have a blank profile to keep up with school functions, local road condition pages, and family on there, and I’ll occasionally check in on my aunties and uncles that are adamant on using it. It is the most depressing thing to see when it comes to social media. What was once a pretty cool exclusive platform to interact with other college kids and adults that opened up to the general public and then it became advertiser central full of scams and spam over the years full of boomers. My family members will have thousands and thousands of “followers” that will _totally_ interact with them for really real and totally not bot-like whenever they post updates or photos of family and friends. Got to where I had outright request them to never post photos of my child as I don’t know who is seeing them since I don’t even post him online. They’re also real bad to click random Facebook links that will then post to their profile that says “do not accept a friend request from me, I’ve been hacked!!” with EVERY SINGLE 30+ REPLY being about getting in touch with random Facebook accounts that are linked to people who can supposedly “unlock” and “unhack” their profile …. for a fee, of course, usually with fake replies spiraling into being about BTC. Doesn’t matter how many times I message them and tell them to please stop clicking random stuff or adding people they don’t know, they don’t listen. They’re gullible and think because the spammers/scammers have followed their other friends and family members, that the amount of friends they have in common somehow means they totally know them. Countless moments I’ve even gone out of my way to try and report these individual accounts to only be told they’re not breaking any guidelines and can be left up to scam thousands of people in a few months’ time. It’s the one social media site where the elderly and boomers congregate more than any other, and it’s the one site where so many scams and spam continues to be extremely prevalent due to their gullibility… and of course, nothing will ever be done as it’s more lucrative as a company to have these poor interactions and scams going for advert revenue. It’s honestly sad.
@@OhiChickenbut then the vulnerable old friends and family get their accounts hacked, and even private messages from those "trusted" people become a danger. It's so bad, I genuinely fear for my grandparents on Facebook. They are quite intelligent and wise in most aspects of life, yet as helpless as children online.
@@OhiChicken thankfully my granny is cool with me having access to her account and email so I just log in once a week and delete and block a bunch of stuff. But I can't imagine what kind of mess she'd be in if she was on her own with all of it
OMG tysm for mentioning the "call me" obsession. I've even seen it listed as a red flag for buyers/sellers if the other party refuses to get on the phone with them. I get this if you're buying something expensive but like you pointed out, it's everything down to an $8 used copy of GTA V that I had clear uploaded pictures of to show it was undamaged. Sir, WHAT MORE DO WE NEED TO SAY!?
It's about communicating to other people that 1) you are real, and that 2) your item is real, and that 3) you are really going to show up. Get over it, and learn to talk on the phone. A call can take only seconds, and it covers lots of questions quickly. Humans developed language for a reason. Learn to talk to people well enough, and you might even learn to appreciate something from another point of view. Ever notice how that perspective seems to be lacking now?
@@thewhitefalcon8539 - Strictly speaking, a “server” is mostly a regular computer, but configured in a particular way so as to most optimally run server software without doing much else. And you can run server software on a regular desktop - or even a laptop - and so long as it remains small scale you’ll be fine. Technically most home ISP’s ban you from running server software and hosting sites over your home connection, but most won’t enforce that so long as you, again, operate at a small scale. So no one really needs to buy a server to run a small social media network … any computer will do. And in truth, you really needn’t host the site yourself. It’d even be kinda silly to. Wordpress has many perfectly adequate plug-ins which allow you to turn your Wordpress site into a small social media network. The key word here again is “small.” And your Wordpress site can be hosted anywhere, for not much more than $80 a year usually, including domain name registration. So if all you want to do is run a social network for your apartment building, or for a small community, or for a hobby or special interest group, just download the free Wordpress software and throw it up on Dreamhost for $80-something a year and then install a social media plugin and you’ll be fine.
Your comment about scammers targeting religious folk is 100% correct. The whole "Lubbock, Texas" thing is also linked because, and I don't mean to offend anyone, but if you are a scammer and you are targeting America, your easiest targets are white, conservative Christians (especially elderly white conservative christians). The reasons why are... are kind of mean to put to words. But to put it bluntly, it's their gullibility. A combination of the less-than-stellar public education system in conservative areas, religious guilt, and preying on their sense of morality.
I can confirm that in my time working with the elderly, the one's who got scammed the most were the older, christian women. Add in the mental decline with age, and they just aren't equipped to handle the sheer amount of scammers targeting them.
Evangelicals piss me off. I’m Jewish and we’re becoming more marginalized in America by the day, and those demons get to live free of persecution. It should be the other way around! In spite of what the conspiracies would have you believe, we’re not the ones making America worse!
Facebook mom groups often have insane moms that refuse to go to the doctor/hospital with the child and want to use natural remedies like oils, and in cases let their child really suffer because of that sadly
I literary had a Facebook single dad come after me and my videos calling me that i pretend to be famous, i don't even know who he was 💀But imagine goin on strangers peoples Fb's and YT without knowing them, just to insult them lol.
My hatred of MLMs started from this exact situation. When I had my son, I lived in a bit of a crunchy granola place, and the people in the local Facebook mom groups would CONSTANTLY try to encourage new moms especially to use essential oils instead to treat their babies. They also just happened to sell them, so you know, super convenient! After having a severe anxiety attack from being told that I was literally k1lling my son by giving him baby ibuprofen for his teething, I talked to a nurse who put some sense back into me. I started researching essential oil safety and realised they were actually encouraging really dangerous usage around babies and small children (on top of the medical misinformation). Thieves oil alone contains oils that aren't safe for babies' respiratory systems, yet they're telling moms to diffuse it in babies' bedrooms. I started seeing the MLM nonsense for what it really was and noticed their tactics, and the bullying they'd do. They'd make moms feel so bad about themselves and question everything, all just to make a sale. I did try to be as vocal as possible, but it's hard to get heard when so many of them are doing it and supporting each other. I eventually accepted that I wasn't going to be making mom friends in that small town - any time people added me or showed interest, it turned out they just wanted to sell something. It was everywhere. Even my therapist had Doterra oils in her office (that she didn't try to sell me, thankfully, but still. I could never escape them) It was a really depressing, lonely, and anxious time in my life and it makes me livid to think about how many people and babies they've likely harmed due to their bullying and misinformation.
Don't forget about the horrors of Black Salve! That's still going crazy over there too if you know where to find it. Also, if anyone reading this has a weak stomach, do not look up the pictures of what happens to people trying to treat their skin cancer with black salve, it is gruesome and disgusting
@@SuitedSkaterLion Sadly there are some really weird people that can get mad about some really weird stuff and starting to harass someone on Facebook you (you in general sense) don't like for some dumb reason is very easy
Youre literally the fake one with all those bought subscribers and views. No way you really have over a million subscribers and no way that 1 video you have actually has 200k views. Pathetic
My dad uses FB marketplace a lot and he likes to call people to make sure they're real local people, not bots. A bot can text you but not a lot can conjure up a voice to talk to you. According to him people can also be insufferably dumb to deal with over text
The guy at 4:42 was making a makeshift distillation setup for distilling ethanol. I’m a chemistry senior and I was confused too until he lit the distilled liquid. Actually super fucking cool props to him.
@@apatheticsticker8137 Ethanol and water have different volatility. With the right temperature and pressure you can make ethanol turn into a vapor, but not the water. Then you can move that vapor to another place and turn into a liquid again.
about the "why do you want to call me, just text ugh" thingy. i get a way better read of people if i can hear their voice and then know if it's going to lead to getting scammed, added to a crime statistic, or if the item is really quality with successive follow-up questions than texting and forgetting about the text with my adhd/them forgetting or finding another buyer
I have ADHD/Autism and I hate texting people, because I feel like I have to be overly nice (smileys and everything) to convey what I want to convey. My grandma has issues, for example, and always reads everything negatively, if she feels bad that day. If I type; 'Hey grandma! How are you?" she reads that as; 'Héy..GRANDMA! How are you?!?! HUH?! EXPLAIN YOURSELF?!" And I hate being fake, so I would much rather speak on the phone.
i can testify , as an under 30 who is still on facebook, groups are where it's at. these kinds of fandom shitposting groups are like small islands in the sea of clickbait scams. they feel a bit like classic forums and actually provide this sort of old school internet experience to me where it's actually just a group of people talking about a thing they like together, instead of just staring at content by yourself on instagram or tiktok. I'm there because thats where i met my friends back in 2014 and thats where we still talk to each other to this day because it's the only platform that provides us with this actually interactive experience that isn't just a group chat so we've learned to curate our experience to avoid all the wild ass shit you've described
This is exactly why I spent over a decade on Facebook as well. I was heavily involved in the Page Admin realm of 2010-2014 before it imploded with Carl's group(if you know you know(he died recently????)) and people selling their pages to link-pasting organizations. Then I was part of the shitposting renaissance as an admin of Simpsons Shitposting and many others. Many of the groups from 2015 are now defunct, but it's fascinating to see the snowball of art that my friends and I started is still rolling. That interactive experience is what the internet was supposed to be used for.
Agree absolutely, aside from my family and old friend contacts I never actually talk to, Facebook groups are the only worthwhile thing. Even that wasn’t enough to keep me on there tho
Exactly. Threads and Mastodon although cultivate a similar forum like experience are superficial in presentation. Facebook on the other hand is the trenches of forum-like experience (Which means more meaningful interactions... but also easier access to groups that get coopted by conspiracy-cult bs which is why people over the age of 40 should have their FB groups privileges revoked). But yes I use messenger for everything, whatsapp is too impersonal, instagram direct means I have to get tempted by shortform media anytime I want to message someone, snapchat is gross to log into if you're over 21, and texting is a bit finicky and a little formal.
where i'm from (Scotland) facebook is just the main social media and its specifically because of groups and it's much better algorythm compared to Instagram. aparently it seems to be similarly popular, if not more so in spanish speaking countries as well but i'm unsure as i don't live in one, soz. I've honestly not seen most of the wild west stuff, the most i've seen is immigration scams (because of seeking a visa to move abroad, but it recommending me well known illegal migrant routes instead, such as getting to the us via mexico or getting to poland via belarus) or during covid the richard branson scam "news" links.
same ive been on there for years and thats where my friends are most active so i dont see myself leaving unless we all decide to move to the same website
I use Facebook to keep in touch with my older relatives and at least once a month they respond to posts saying "I bet everyone's first pet's name was spike! Prove me wrong 😂😂🤯🤯" and then they get hacked.
19:45 Even better: The woman in the picture has an issue of "Forum Strafvollzug" on her desk. That means "Prison Forum" in german. According to google it is a journal for the penal system and offender support.
You don't want an orde of people opening subreddits and forums entirely dedicated to your feet only to read horny postings detailing exactly what was done with those pictures? Don't show your feet, it's that easy. /s
Oh, I assumed there was a logo or something she was trying not to promote, like rap videos on MTV. But whenever there's something I don't understand, I should always just assume it's a sex thing.
tips for marketplace sellers: 1. always pick a location that is the most convenient for you 2. always double or triple confirm the money deal. So at least they can't give you the ol "oh i only have x amount on me" 3. buyers wanting to call you because they want to either bully or pull sympathy over the phone. They know people crack easier when there is a voice to hear

22:55 I know that it has been 3 months since this video went up. But, i run a facebook group professionally. I know that sounds odd. But I literally get paid to run one for a coffee company. Doing this has opened my eyes to how many groups are “ran” by people who don’t care about what is going on.
This time stamp is gold 10:34. Best RUclipsr to sit back, smoke a j, listen and laugh to. You’re effortlessly funny and your videos are entertaining whole way through.
The call thing is usually bots. They are usually immediate after posting a product. They will proceed to ask for a verification code after trying to set up a Google voice account. Then they have access to make accounts in your name. Look into it if you want more info
3:41 as a brazilian, let me translate that for ya. For some quick context: "vai pela sombra" mean go by the shade, go through the shade or something to that effect, it's a way of saying goodbye and telling you to take the shaded path cause it's nicer. So the meme translates as "Go by the shade, shit dries up in the sun".
Glad frogspotting is getting the love it deserves. I barely log in to fb, but when I do, it’s just go through all the new spotting group posts. Frogspotting, Dadspotting, Dogspotting, etc.
The thing that makes me mad about the fake military returning home videos is that anyone who has even interacted with military personnel know that you have to be the worst human if you don't know the exact date and time your partner is gonna be returning from deployment. It's not like they just leave and you sit and wait for 6 months for them to come back. Also, in the Navy, he's gone for 3 years? I don't think so. 6 months to a year usually. Also pretending to be in the military is the douchiest thing ever.
And anyone who’s gone thru basic/boot knows attention to detail when it comes to uniform and how you present yourself, which makes it extremely easy to point out the fakes.

I had to make a Facebook account to sell a washing machine and immediately someone tried to scam me but they got my address (said they were on the way) and then proceeded to threaten to stalk me to this day. I've literally moved from Tennessee to Florida. I am not in the same state, they still message me saying they're coming to my apartment that I do not live in. I alerted the police and my old apartment complex, I also alerted the person threatening to stalk me. everyone on Facebook can be safely assumed insane
I absolutely despise this platform and hate the fact that Facebook marketplace is the only place where you can realistically sell something. All you have to do is comb through 99% of scams that get more and more creative ("I'm away from the country, but my driver can come, I'll wite transfer the money" "I'm busy at work I'll send a courier"...) fucking hell
as a brazilian, a place where facebook still relevant, i’ve seen whole series in compilations of 5 minutes videos, last year we had a whole thing about a girl who find out her husband was sleeping with her dad, she exposed all their messages(really dirty ones) and became this meme i just love facebook, it represents my country in a specific way your português is cute
Is Facebook still relevant here? I don’t know anyone who still uses, not older nor younger people, we just have it to log into our accounts everywhere else quickly lol
Thanks for the great videos, I've been working from home lately and was running out of content to keep me entertained, but started watching a bunch of your videos and it's making my work better. Keep being great.
3:41 As a Brazilian, I'd like to clarify that THAT ONE in particular is not a wine mom post, but a Uncle Who Thinks He's Funny post. Also it says "walk on the shade - sh1t dries under the sun" (merda is our equivalent of a§§hole, but the words differ in their literal meaning)
8 месяцев назад+11
wut, "merda" means "shit", "cu" is the word that means "asshole"
@ yeah, but you don't call someone "a sh1t" in English the way you call someone "um merda" in Portuguese. You are either "a little sh1t", "a piece of sh1t" or "the shit" and all of those have different meanings in English - none of them being the same as "um merda" in Portuguese. Being "an a§§hole" is the closest translation to being "um merda". Same way in English they don't have "filho da put4", but they have "moth3fuck3r", which has the same usage though the words have different literal meaning.
Hi, 22 year old regular facebook user here... I use facebook for the animal care community. It was how I met alot of local reptile keepers and learned alot. I'm a vet tech now so I'm also in a lot of vet med groups
tbh some fb groups are reaaly good and a great way to connect with people closer to you. In my country is the most used social media platform so sadly it's where most good groups are :(
As far as I'm aware, there are scammers who want your number to collect for phone lists, kind of like how people try to collect emails for spam email lists.
How come I report bots saying outrageous and disgusting sh*t on YT all the time yet YT will never do anything about it??? Seriously??? This is sick. Accusing gabbie of cp?? It's (to use an Australian term) cooked af. I feel like I'm constantly reporting bots like this and the SAME ONES KEEP COMING BACK
Gabi you are so right. I bring this up all the time. I genuinely believe they simply do not care about the state of the platform. Facebook makes money from ads and not users. It's purpose-built to just keep people above age 40 to dink around for an hour or two and see ads. I use Facebook solely because of my ability to group up with people who share my interests.
@@willaroberts134she made a video about her mother sending her Brazilian prayer and good morning videos so it's not creepy, just means you watch her videos
(not abt facebook MP specifically, but just the buy and sell community from where i am in general) usually when a scam happens cus sellers default to “payment first” policy, some “customers” that think theyre wisecracks always have the same comeback wherein the say “please let me pay via cash on delivery, i got scammed before so i dont wanna pay upfront” like, honey, i wish it worked that way lmao
1:40 she was never going to pay full price. Many buyers strong arm sellers by offering less money at the last second, sometimes claiming they couldn't bring enough money. They assume you'll agree to less money than walk away with nothing. That's why I tell people "if you bring less money than the agreed amount, I will walk away." And you've gotta mean it.
Yes! Her pronunciation was great! Also, for those that are wondering, "Vai pela sombra. Merda no sol seca." means "When you go outside, stay under the shade. A piece of sh*t under the sun dries up." (as in, you're a piece of sh*t, so if you stay under the sun you'll dry up).
Highly recommended looking into the dead internet theory, it’s really fascinating and goes into what is happening in the dystopian hellscape of Facebook
Facebook has always been like this. 10 minute videos where you get 30 seconds of setup, 9 minutes of useless padding, 30 seconds of a highly disappointing resolution. All followed by the depressing realization you wasted 10 minutes of your life.

I'm living for the people saying that people want to call on marketplace to make sure you're not a scam as if getting your phone number isn't for its own scam. Anyway once on facebook video thingy I got a video that was basically like decorating a cake like you'd make a pour painting, and I wish I'd realized at the beginning that the video was *30 minutes long*. Lady puts icing in a tube that's open on both ends, puts sprinkles in it, says "okay so we're gonna release it and it's gonna look so good", puts more icing and sprinkles in the tube, says she's gonna release in 5 seconds and it's gonna look cool. 20 seconds later she puts more icing in the tube. I fastforwarded and at 10 minutes she was still saying she was gonna release the icing in 5 seconds. Again, the video was like 30 minutes long.

Did a reverse image search and found that same ad all over the country, along with a post by someone who was scammed out of a deposit on that very same item, but in Wisconsin. I've since learned that it is a Nigerian scam. Now, it's become a hobby to look for those ads (many in RVs and Boats for sale) and report them. NONE of the ads was ever taken down by FB.
The proposal video is so psycho on so many levels. It’s crazy that everyone involved thought it was a good idea or was remotely plausible. Like, she’s only the other side of the pool while they supposedly set everything up? And he’s clearly visible from all angles, let alone when she’s looking directly at him?! They’re either super dumb, or cynical geniuses who are savvy that most people on Facebook won’t question these things
Its both. Theyre dumb, but theyre not that dumb. Theyre certainly smarter than their peers, and they know this, and they gain from it. You can see it in his shit eating grin lmao. The people who fall for it share it and love it, the people who hate it share it and hate it, and they make money.
I love how in the "Navy boyfriend surprises pregnant girlfriend" he says he's been overseas for 3 years and hasn't seen her which means it's not his baby!
What a great video! What shocks me especially is that somehow FB do not seem to realize or care that all this shit is driving people away from the platform. It would be so easy for them to deal with all the bots and scams, but yet they don’t so like… they just don’t care? That sounds like a wild business stance to take.
gabi thank you so much to read a meme in Brazilian Portuguese u the best also I'm loving seeing your channel getting bigger omg BACK ON MY TIME IT WAS ALL GRASS AROUND HERE

4:56 I think I know what’s going on in that one clipped video. He is making some kind of wine or alcohol. He puts the boots in the wok to sanitize them so he can use them to crush whatever fruit he had there. Then he takes that fruit pulp and places stones on top to squeeze the juice out of them. Then he assembles those clay vessels into what looks like a distillery which is used to separate alcohol from a liquid mixture by its boiling point. Granted it doesn’t show him ever fermenting the juice, but that’s my best guess.
Got a cousin who makes wine. Looks like it
THANK YOU I needed to know!!
Think maybe quince? Or pear? But yeah, a distilled alcohol, hence setting fire to a glass at the end. Has to be better than baijiu.
he just makes nonsense vids to farm engagement. He posted a vid cooking billiard balls.
I tried reporting a post on FB that asked for people's social security numbers by saying, "If you had as much money as your social security number, how much would you have?" Three people had commented their full socials. FB 'found no issue' with it. It's a shitshow over there.
Well, now you know how to make money on facebook legally in their opinion
Zucc doesn't care he's too busy in the metaverse.
There are people out there valiantly trying to stop folks from doing that. I still get a lot of "your friend commented on this post" stuff where the post is basically just asking for security question answers.
That's lowkey a pretty smart way to ask lmao. It sucks people fell for it tho.
WTF that's insane
I got SAed. I posted a screenshot of the guy who did it to me to warn others in my area and Facebook put me in jail for 30 days for harassment and bullying. They are a huge joke
But then they leave horrific sexual abuse posts up 💀 the amount of stuff I have reported to have them months later be like "we left the post up" 🫥
Im so sorry!
I’m so sorry that happened to you, I believe in your ability to heal over time.
Sounds like Facebook.
I am SO sorry

I love this video, because if it was true, the uniform paints an amazing story.
The story of a guy whose been in the marines for at least 3 years (probably 4 or 5) and told everyone he was in the Navy instead. During this time, he either never promoted past, or was busted down to E2 (you automatically promote to E3 after just *existing* for 18 months), indicating that he is almost comically terrible at his job. This man was "deployed", and hasn't seen his girlfriend for 3 years, and upon hearing she's pregnant, just assumes its his. After all this, he still thinks his career is illustrious enough for him to show up in his dress uniform, and propose during the ultrasound as if he's a war hero.
This made the video so much better
It's even funnier if you factor in the fact that the ultrasound wand is a thermometer. So, she is trying to baby trap him (probably for the Tricare), and realized that he is dumb enough that she doesn't even have to actually be pregnant to do it. And because this guy is dumber than Forrest Gump, it somehow works.
With the amount red flags on how he's wearing his uniform alone should tell you it's fake.
I'm so glad I caught this comment before that part of the video
@@sarahscarborough3942really I was thinking her boyfriend has been gone for three years and she’s pregnant and he’s all fine with it, even though she’s been gone for 3 years and wasn’t the one who got her pregnant lol
The "navy boyfriend" video was hilarious because:
- that sonogram machine was a thermometer
- they would have been married already if it was an actual military couple, ain't no one passing up that free health-care, especially pregnant.
- the too big cover/hat
- the unbuttoned Marine Corps dress uniform for the Navy boyfriend
also that he hasn't seen her in 3 years... which means the baby isn't his lol
Don't forget his "unemployed older brother" facial hair lol
The giant hat is so funny XDDD

Happened to my dead mother's FB. When she died, I tried to lock her account but FB wanted copies of legal documents I didn't have atm. It got reported a lot so her account got deleted. They've made it a lot easier now to lock accounts as memorials

That ultrasound wand is actually a thermometer. I literally use them at work. They didn't even look up what the wand even looks like. Watching him rub that thing over her stomach SENT ME

To me the worst part about facebook is that you never ever see anything a friend posts, and if you do it was from something multiple days ago, even if you used the app then you would never see the post. Instead they shove "suggested" groups and posts on your feed filled with complete garbage. The entire app is basically unusable, and if it wasn't for the events and friends I message on there I would have gotten rid of the entire thing years ago.
I see stuff that like 3 friends post, but never anything from the other 63 living friends on there. And for the pages I follow, it'll show me the same post 7 times a day for a week but not the other 30 posts from that page. So annoying!
Same with insta, its useless except for stories.
Absolutely same!! I’ve recently started only opening and checking the app if I have a notification, the feed itself is garbage
I unliked every page and left every group and started seeing friends again
The same six friends, constantly, interspersed with pages FB keeps trying to make me enjoy
I hop on there about once a week, MAYBE. It literally only exists cuz some folks I know I can only contact thru FB :(
Yes. I don't see anything from anyone I actually follow unless i specifically search for it, no matter how many times i just their settings like "see first" and "see more like this" i will never see it lol. They were showing me those videos with the navy/marine actor guy the other day 😂 or the ones where a white woman dumps 15 ingredients on her counter and smears it around calling it cooking.
holy shit, that guy at 13:01 he was a regular creep at my cinema and he actually groped an actress and got banned for a year or two at the cinema. He was super creepy to all the under age girls and would message my manager on facebook horrible stuff and the cinema never did anything about it even with multiple complaints from staff about safety. It was one of the many reasons I left the company.
I downloaded Facebook for the first time ever recently- and the STANDARD explore page (without me doing anything like searching or following people) was full of scarcely clothed AI generated women and full of comments with old men commenting things like "Beautiful 😍". It was the weirdest thing I've ever experienced.

To be fair, I downloaded instagram for the first time ever recently and my discover page was was pretty similar. I think that kind of content is just taking over, especially if the app has nothing else to go off of. I wish they'd just go back to only showing you accounts you follow
My granny's facebook page has been overtaken with thousands of fake male celebrities that interact with their "fans" and flirt with lonely old people to try and scam them out of stuff. I block and report tons of them every week but they just keep coming back

Yesss.
I have a blank profile to keep up with school functions, local road condition pages, and family on there, and I’ll occasionally check in on my aunties and uncles that are adamant on using it. It is the most depressing thing to see when it comes to social media. What was once a pretty cool exclusive platform to interact with other college kids and adults that opened up to the general public and then it became advertiser central full of scams and spam over the years full of boomers.
My family members will have thousands and thousands of “followers” that will _totally_ interact with them for really real and totally not bot-like whenever they post updates or photos of family and friends. Got to where I had outright request them to never post photos of my child as I don’t know who is seeing them since I don’t even post him online.
They’re also real bad to click random Facebook links that will then post to their profile that says “do not accept a friend request from me, I’ve been hacked!!” with EVERY SINGLE 30+ REPLY being about getting in touch with random Facebook accounts that are linked to people who can supposedly “unlock” and “unhack” their profile …. for a fee, of course, usually with fake replies spiraling into being about BTC.
Doesn’t matter how many times I message them and tell them to please stop clicking random stuff or adding people they don’t know, they don’t listen. They’re gullible and think because the spammers/scammers have followed their other friends and family members, that the amount of friends they have in common somehow means they totally know them.
Countless moments I’ve even gone out of my way to try and report these individual accounts to only be told they’re not breaking any guidelines and can be left up to scam thousands of people in a few months’ time.
It’s the one social media site where the elderly and boomers congregate more than any other, and it’s the one site where so many scams and spam continues to be extremely prevalent due to their gullibility… and of course, nothing will ever be done as it’s more lucrative as a company to have these poor interactions and scams going for advert revenue. It’s honestly sad.
@@OhiChickenbut then the vulnerable old friends and family get their accounts hacked, and even private messages from those "trusted" people become a danger.

OMG tysm for mentioning the "call me" obsession. I've even seen it listed as a red flag for buyers/sellers if the other party refuses to get on the phone with them. I get this if you're buying something expensive but like you pointed out, it's everything down to an $8 used copy of GTA V that I had clear uploaded pictures of to show it was undamaged. Sir, WHAT MORE DO WE NEED TO SAY!?
It's about communicating to other people that 1) you are real, and that 2) your item is real, and that 3) you are really going to show up.
Get over it, and learn to talk on the phone. A call can take only seconds, and it covers lots of questions quickly. Humans developed language for a reason. Learn to talk to people well enough, and you might even learn to appreciate something from another point of view. Ever notice how that perspective seems to be lacking now?

Servers have never been cheaper if you want your own all to yourself, but you'll have to learn a lot.
@@thewhitefalcon8539 - Strictly speaking, a “server” is mostly a regular computer, but configured in a particular way so as to most optimally run server software without doing much else. And you can run server software on a regular desktop - or even a laptop - and so long as it remains small scale you’ll be fine. Technically most home ISP’s ban you from running server software and hosting sites over your home connection, but most won’t enforce that so long as you, again, operate at a small scale. So no one really needs to buy a server to run a small social media network … any computer will do.
And in truth, you really needn’t host the site yourself. It’d even be kinda silly to. Wordpress has many perfectly adequate plug-ins which allow you to turn your Wordpress site into a small social media network. The key word here again is “small.” And your Wordpress site can be hosted anywhere, for not much more than $80 a year usually, including domain name registration.
So if all you want to do is run a social network for your apartment building, or for a small community, or for a hobby or special interest group, just download the free Wordpress software and throw it up on Dreamhost for $80-something a year and then install a social media plugin and you’ll be fine.
Your comment about scammers targeting religious folk is 100% correct. The whole "Lubbock, Texas" thing is also linked because, and I don't mean to offend anyone, but if you are a scammer and you are targeting America, your easiest targets are white, conservative Christians (especially elderly white conservative christians). The reasons why are... are kind of mean to put to words. But to put it bluntly, it's their gullibility. A combination of the less-than-stellar public education system in conservative areas, religious guilt, and preying on their sense of morality.
I can confirm that in my time working with the elderly, the one's who got scammed the most were the older, christian women. Add in the mental decline with age, and they just aren't equipped to handle the sheer amount of scammers targeting them.
you should've been more offensive in this comment

Frog facebook groups are one of the few remaining bastions of wholesomeness and good vibes
Frogs are just little dudes
peepo my baby
Facebook mom groups often have insane moms that refuse to go to the doctor/hospital with the child and want to use natural remedies like oils, and in cases let their child really suffer because of that sadly
I literary had a Facebook single dad come after me and my videos calling me that i pretend to be famous, i don't even know who he was 💀But imagine goin on strangers peoples Fb's and YT without knowing them, just to insult them lol.
My hatred of MLMs started from this exact situation. When I had my son, I lived in a bit of a crunchy granola place, and the people in the local Facebook mom groups would CONSTANTLY try to encourage new moms especially to use essential oils instead to treat their babies. They also just happened to sell them, so you know, super convenient!
After having a severe anxiety attack from being told that I was literally k1lling my son by giving him baby ibuprofen for his teething, I talked to a nurse who put some sense back into me. I started researching essential oil safety and realised they were actually encouraging really dangerous usage around babies and small children (on top of the medical misinformation). Thieves oil alone contains oils that aren't safe for babies' respiratory systems, yet they're telling moms to diffuse it in babies' bedrooms. I started seeing the MLM nonsense for what it really was and noticed their tactics, and the bullying they'd do. They'd make moms feel so bad about themselves and question everything, all just to make a sale. I did try to be as vocal as possible, but it's hard to get heard when so many of them are doing it and supporting each other. I eventually accepted that I wasn't going to be making mom friends in that small town - any time people added me or showed interest, it turned out they just wanted to sell something. It was everywhere. Even my therapist had Doterra oils in her office (that she didn't try to sell me, thankfully, but still. I could never escape them)
It was a really depressing, lonely, and anxious time in my life and it makes me livid to think about how many people and babies they've likely harmed due to their bullying and misinformation.
Don't forget about the horrors of Black Salve! That's still going crazy over there too if you know where to find it.

i can testify , as an under 30 who is still on facebook, groups are where it's at. these kinds of fandom shitposting groups are like small islands in the sea of clickbait scams. they feel a bit like classic forums and actually provide this sort of old school internet experience to me where it's actually just a group of people talking about a thing they like together, instead of just staring at content by yourself on instagram or tiktok. I'm there because thats where i met my friends back in 2014 and thats where we still talk to each other to this day because it's the only platform that provides us with this actually interactive experience that isn't just a group chat so we've learned to curate our experience to avoid all the wild ass shit you've described
This is exactly why I spent over a decade on Facebook as well. I was heavily involved in the Page Admin realm of 2010-2014 before it imploded with Carl's group(if you know you know(he died recently????)) and people selling their pages to link-pasting organizations. Then I was part of the shitposting renaissance as an admin of Simpsons Shitposting and many others. Many of the groups from 2015 are now defunct, but it's fascinating to see the snowball of art that my friends and I started is still rolling. That interactive experience is what the internet was supposed to be used for.
Agree absolutely, aside from my family and old friend contacts I never actually talk to, Facebook groups are the only worthwhile thing. Even that wasn’t enough to keep me on there tho
Exactly. Threads and Mastodon although cultivate a similar forum like experience are superficial in presentation. Facebook on the other hand is the trenches of forum-like experience (Which means more meaningful interactions... but also easier access to groups that get coopted by conspiracy-cult bs which is why people over the age of 40 should have their FB groups privileges revoked). But yes I use messenger for everything, whatsapp is too impersonal, instagram direct means I have to get tempted by shortform media anytime I want to message someone, snapchat is gross to log into if you're over 21, and texting is a bit finicky and a little formal.
where i'm from (Scotland) facebook is just the main social media and its specifically because of groups and it's much better algorythm compared to Instagram. aparently it seems to be similarly popular, if not more so in spanish speaking countries as well but i'm unsure as i don't live in one, soz.
I've honestly not seen most of the wild west stuff, the most i've seen is immigration scams (because of seeking a visa to move abroad, but it recommending me well known illegal migrant routes instead, such as getting to the us via mexico or getting to poland via belarus) or during covid the richard branson scam "news" links.

tips for marketplace sellers:
1. always pick a location that is the most convenient for you
2. always double or triple confirm the money deal. So at least they can't give you the ol "oh i only have x amount on me"
3. buyers wanting to call you because they want to either bully or pull sympathy over the phone. They know people crack easier when there is a voice to hear
regarding tip 1: lots of police stations are good locations to meet up. Some stations actually encourage it so that it scares away would be scammers.
4: Just donate it. Honestly, if it’s under $100 it just isn’t worth the hassle.

Mano eu vejo vídeo dessa mina direto e nunca tinha visto outro Br, slk me quebrou demais esse momento do vídeo
@@leonardomarrocco o pai dela é brasileiro
@@glaucovillasboas8212 será? Depois de ver esse vídeo eu fui procurar se ela tinha alguma relação com o Brasil e em um vídeo ela mostra vários vídeos em português que a mãe dela manda para ela, pode ser que o pai dela tbm seja mas acho mais provável a mãe

I would not have let Dolores pay any less than what we had previously agreed on. Allowing Karen's to get what they want only emboldens them even more.
But ya gotta lug the piece back upstairs…
@@rangerjones5531 you gotta call thier bluff
I can't tell if this was bullshit or not. Because she's selling stuff on Fb marketplace? She should know the audience?
@@rangerjones5531 I'd rather smash it and throw it away or better yet donate it to a Goodwill or something than ever let a Karen scam me.
@@rangerjones5531I’d leave on the side of the road before i let Dolores get her way 😂
22:55 I know that it has been 3 months since this video went up. But, i run a facebook group professionally. I know that sounds odd. But I literally get paid to run one for a coffee company. Doing this has opened my eyes to how many groups are “ran” by people who don’t care about what is going on.
"You cause so much dolor in my es" is the best line I've heard in a long time
Wow. You're right, it really is like time traveling back to the early 2000s internet where you needed to act like everything was a virus or a scam
This time stamp is gold 10:34. Best RUclipsr to sit back, smoke a j, listen and laugh to. You’re effortlessly funny and your videos are entertaining whole way through.
I am 100% sure that the calling thing is to make sure that it's a real person selling a real item.
Cause robots don't have phones yet.
@@W1NT3R_5P1R3lol it could be that too
Not yet but soon!
I guess the best thing would be to use the messenger call then, but I think a lot of older people on FB marketplace are on their PC.
The call thing is usually bots. They are usually immediate after posting a product. They will proceed to ask for a verification code after trying to set up a Google voice account. Then they have access to make accounts in your name. Look into it if you want more info
"yet"
you wish.
the fucking way im cackling at "HES BEEN GONE FOR THREE YEARS... SHES PREGNANT.. HE'S CRYING OF HAPPINESS.." is that what we're calling it? happiness?
also i used to run several facebook shitposting groups 😭 the good ol days of the groups where we pretended to be ants..
@puppycharmss Omg I was in that group!! Is it still active? I remember laughing at the posts for hours while high af
Sure, immaculate conception is super special isn't it? 🤣
@@noodle8942My boyfriend and I still verbally say “bite” when we don’t like something 😂
3:41 as a brazilian, let me translate that for ya. For some quick context: "vai pela sombra" mean go by the shade, go through the shade or something to that effect, it's a way of saying goodbye and telling you to take the shaded path cause it's nicer.
So the meme translates as "Go by the shade, shit dries up in the sun".
Amei ela falando português! Ficou super natural kkkkkk
Glad frogspotting is getting the love it deserves. I barely log in to fb, but when I do, it’s just go through all the new spotting group posts. Frogspotting, Dadspotting, Dogspotting, etc.
@JuicyUTTP Shut up bot
Love Frogspotting
The thing that makes me mad about the fake military returning home videos is that anyone who has even interacted with military personnel know that you have to be the worst human if you don't know the exact date and time your partner is gonna be returning from deployment. It's not like they just leave and you sit and wait for 6 months for them to come back. Also, in the Navy, he's gone for 3 years? I don't think so. 6 months to a year usually. Also pretending to be in the military is the douchiest thing ever.
And anyone who’s gone thru basic/boot knows attention to detail when it comes to uniform and how you present yourself, which makes it extremely easy to point out the fakes.
He is in a marine uniform with a beard ya right lol
I wouldn't have been caught dead in my dress blues out in public.
especially while I still have damn pvt rank chevrons on.
How has been away for 3 years and is still only a private !
@@garzathemagnificant and that HAT! :D
Under 30 here, I basically use it for hobby buy/sell groups. People will usually post things there lot cheaper than eBay. And if you sell there you don't have to pay the horrendous eBay commission
I had to make a Facebook account to sell a washing machine and immediately someone tried to scam me but they got my address (said they were on the way) and then proceeded to threaten to stalk me to this day.
I've literally moved from Tennessee to Florida. I am not in the same state, they still message me saying they're coming to my apartment that I do not live in. I alerted the police and my old apartment complex, I also alerted the person threatening to stalk me. everyone on Facebook can be safely assumed insane
I absolutely despise this platform and hate the fact that Facebook marketplace is the only place where you can realistically sell something. All you have to do is comb through 99% of scams that get more and more creative ("I'm away from the country, but my driver can come, I'll wite transfer the money" "I'm busy at work I'll send a courier"...) fucking hell
all are insane there and just as negative as ever
as a brazilian, a place where facebook still relevant, i’ve seen whole series in compilations of 5 minutes videos, last year we had a whole thing about a girl who find out her husband was sleeping with her dad, she exposed all their messages(really dirty ones) and became this meme
i just love facebook, it represents my country in a specific way
your português is cute
Omg I wanna get in on this tea lol 😅
Is Facebook still relevant here? I don’t know anyone who still uses, not older nor younger people, we just have it to log into our accounts everywhere else quickly lol
Ohhhh I remember that omg
@@marianasalescruz caaara tem bastante gente até que usa facebook ainda, não entra na minha cacholakkkkjkk mas usam, é tipo snapchat
Thanks for the great videos, I've been working from home lately and was running out of content to keep me entertained, but started watching a bunch of your videos and it's making my work better. Keep being great.
8:26 it's terrifying to me that there's people out there that can't tell what plastic looks like, because that looks fake as hell
Its not even the same skin tone 🤣
3:41 As a Brazilian, I'd like to clarify that THAT ONE in particular is not a wine mom post, but a Uncle Who Thinks He's Funny post. Also it says "walk on the shade - sh1t dries under the sun" (merda is our equivalent of a§§hole, but the words differ in their literal meaning)
wut, "merda" means "shit", "cu" is the word that means "asshole"
@ yeah, but you don't call someone "a sh1t" in English the way you call someone "um merda" in Portuguese. You are either "a little sh1t", "a piece of sh1t" or "the shit" and all of those have different meanings in English - none of them being the same as "um merda" in Portuguese. Being "an a§§hole" is the closest translation to being "um merda". Same way in English they don't have "filho da put4", but they have "moth3fuck3r", which has the same usage though the words have different literal meaning.
yeah, but just as people call eachother assholes, we call them merda@
I had a phase where i went around saying "merda!" I'm not sure why or where i got it from, but i still sometimes want to say it.
@@allisonj905 I mean, it is very satisfying to say
22:20 man I've reported so many fake accounts and Facebook always send that "nah" response.
Hi, 22 year old regular facebook user here...
I use facebook for the animal care community. It was how I met alot of local reptile keepers and learned alot. I'm a vet tech now so I'm also in a lot of vet med groups
tbh some fb groups are reaaly good and a great way to connect with people closer to you. In my country is the most used social media platform so sadly it's where most good groups are :(
Im in my early 20s and use it to relive childhood memories lol
people wanna call so bad bc 50% of offers on items are scammers
But Gabi is the one selling items, the people wanting to call her are the ones making offers.
The callers are usually the scammers in my experience, trying to get your phone number
gabi censoring her feet in the bit where she's on the floor reading off minion memes is both understandable and yet still comedic at the same time
As far as I'm aware, there are scammers who want your number to collect for phone lists, kind of like how people try to collect emails for spam email lists.
@JuicyUTTP WHAT
@@supersoakerrr9000it's a bot
How come I report bots saying outrageous and disgusting sh*t on YT all the time yet YT will never do anything about it??? Seriously??? This is sick. Accusing gabbie of cp?? It's (to use an Australian term) cooked af. I feel like I'm constantly reporting bots like this and the SAME ONES KEEP COMING BACK
@@skunkjo3195 Yeah seriously!!! I've seen the same bot copy like 5 different comments in the same reply thread!
They do this for rentals and roomates too.
Gabi you are so right. I bring this up all the time. I genuinely believe they simply do not care about the state of the platform. Facebook makes money from ads and not users. It's purpose-built to just keep people above age 40 to dink around for an hour or two and see ads. I use Facebook solely because of my ability to group up with people who share my interests.
Groups legit are the best if you know how to use your internet sense
“Navy boyfriend” in a marine corps uniform without the EGA. Man what great continuity
😭😭When Gabi narrated that Zac Efron's segment, for some resason my mind kept on anticipating her so say "Ancient Aliens", I like how she says that.😂😂
3:41 actually impressed by your portuguese pronounciation, that was pretty on point
o "merda" foi perfeito
@@sharkcuddles-bq2jli feel creepy for even knowing that, but I'm p sure that's the case lol
Every time Brasil is mentioned gabi gets happy so I think she is lol
@@willaroberts134she made a video about her mother sending her Brazilian prayer and good morning videos so it's not creepy, just means you watch her videos
Ela virou carioca do nada
(not abt facebook MP specifically, but just the buy and sell community from where i am in general)
usually when a scam happens cus sellers default to “payment first” policy, some “customers” that think theyre wisecracks always have the same comeback wherein the say “please let me pay via cash on delivery, i got scammed before so i dont wanna pay upfront” like, honey, i wish it worked that way lmao
That "Marine" has a blood stripe on his pants when you get as a Corporal. His rank is Private on the jacket 🧍♂️
Intro text also says he was gone for 3 years. His girlfriend is pregnant. edit: posted too soon, Gabi mentioned it
3:40 guys, guyss!
✨ *_Brazil mentioned_* ✨
I was about to say this!
🇧🇷 🇧🇷 🇧🇷
we are so needy
LOL! For real, the Brazilians are freaking out in the comments and I love to see it!
Finalmente!
The one wing eyeliner is making me anxious
1:40 she was never going to pay full price. Many buyers strong arm sellers by offering less money at the last second, sometimes claiming they couldn't bring enough money. They assume you'll agree to less money than walk away with nothing. That's why I tell people "if you bring less money than the agreed amount, I will walk away." And you've gotta mean it.
As a Brazilian, I am proud of her saying "Merda no sol seca". Thank You S2
Yes! Her pronunciation was great!
Also, for those that are wondering, "Vai pela sombra. Merda no sol seca." means "When you go outside, stay under the shade. A piece of sh*t under the sun dries up." (as in, you're a piece of sh*t, so if you stay under the sun you'll dry up).
I think Gabi speaks some Portuguese! If I recall correctly she translated the Portuguese segments in her Twilight videos herself
Mano eu fiquei feliz, mais doq deveria😊
@@NankitaBR this should be a global saying
Highly recommended looking into the dead internet theory, it’s really fascinating and goes into what is happening in the dystopian hellscape of Facebook
Facebook has always been like this. 10 minute videos where you get 30 seconds of setup, 9 minutes of useless padding, 30 seconds of a highly disappointing resolution. All followed by the depressing realization you wasted 10 minutes of your life.
so true lol
Navy boyfriend wearing a Marine uniform has been out for three years and never promoted. Must of have been a horrible seaman, can't wait for their plastic baby to be delivered!
So glad I found these videos. Well produced, easy to listen and interesting!
I'm 28 and still use Facebook
There's some quality shitposting groups, and I often use it to coordinate with bands I'm in as a musician.
Honestly if you do use those ancient internet instincts it's reasonably good for occasionally making friends in shitposting or specialist groups
Shit posting is why I use fb. Tsp is unhinged 😅
I feel your dolor on the $60 couch thing... I've had people bully me into accepting less for a car that didn't run... when it was listed as a car that didn' run at the price of a car that didn't run.
I'm on a binge of your videos right now (i'm new, sorry), and I have to say I just really appreciate the random sound bites from Super Mario Nintendo 64
Man Facebook is having the worst identity crisis I think I’ve ever seen a website have. I miss when it was a convenient place to connect with IRL friends and family online.
MySpace and nexopia had it pretty bad near the end of their reigns
Nexopia and MySpace had that similar issue in it's final stages of anyone caring
3:43 That means "go in the shadow, shit in the sun dries." ("Vai pela sombra" is used to say "take care")
These clips were nearly impossible to get through. Well done.
facebook marketplace gets you either the best deals or the worst deals of your life
The navy one pissed me off. Not only is it obviously staged, but the dudes uniform doesn't fit. Not just the hat, the whole uniform. It's a combination of failure and stolen valor. It makes me stabby
not to mention the ultrasound device is just a digital thermometer
@@gabbysian2530 not to mention it says hes been gone for 3 years but its his baby???
i love how this starts with fb marketplace and then just wanders off into strange soldier proposals and zach effron fan fiction news, unapologetically and enthusiastically
I'm living for the people saying that people want to call on marketplace to make sure you're not a scam as if getting your phone number isn't for its own scam.
Anyway once on facebook video thingy I got a video that was basically like decorating a cake like you'd make a pour painting, and I wish I'd realized at the beginning that the video was *30 minutes long*. Lady puts icing in a tube that's open on both ends, puts sprinkles in it, says "okay so we're gonna release it and it's gonna look so good", puts more icing and sprinkles in the tube, says she's gonna release in 5 seconds and it's gonna look cool. 20 seconds later she puts more icing in the tube. I fastforwarded and at 10 minutes she was still saying she was gonna release the icing in 5 seconds. Again, the video was like 30 minutes long.
I have also seen this on Facebook/snapchat and this whole genre of stalling is even more infuriating than the fake boyfriend surprise videos
Love that they used an infrared thermometer for the ultrasound at 8:23
I answered an ad for a almost new leather sofa for $400, that sells for $2300 on the dealer website. Did a reverse image search and found that same ad all over the country, along with a post by someone who was scammed out of a deposit on that very same item, but in Wisconsin. I've since learned that it is a Nigerian scam. Now, it's become a hobby to look for those ads (many in RVs and Boats for sale) and report them. NONE of the ads was ever taken down by FB.
that temu farming game is one of the most dystopian things i’ve seen in terms of overconsumption holy shit
The proposal video is so psycho on so many levels. It’s crazy that everyone involved thought it was a good idea or was remotely plausible. Like, she’s only the other side of the pool while they supposedly set everything up? And he’s clearly visible from all angles, let alone when she’s looking directly at him?!
They’re either super dumb, or cynical geniuses who are savvy that most people on Facebook won’t question these things
Cynical. I wonder how much they make tho
Its to appeal to children and boomere with no ability to discern reality then to get people like you to comment this lol
It literally makes me want to throw up.
Its both. Theyre dumb, but theyre not that dumb. Theyre certainly smarter than their peers, and they know this, and they gain from it.
You can see it in his shit eating grin lmao.
The people who fall for it share it and love it, the people who hate it share it and hate it, and they make money.
I love watching videos about Facebook as someone who hardly uses any other social media sites. You just get used to all the weird stuff eventually
I love how in the "Navy boyfriend surprises pregnant girlfriend" he says he's been overseas for 3 years and hasn't seen her which means it's not his baby!
Oh it is, she's just been crossing her legs for three years. XD
I like how his hat and uniform don't fit.
And it’s a marine dress uniform 😂
What a great video! What shocks me especially is that somehow FB do not seem to realize or care that all this shit is driving people away from the platform. It would be so easy for them to deal with all the bots and scams, but yet they don’t so like… they just don’t care? That sounds like a wild business stance to take.
8:47
If hes been deployed 3 years, how is she pregnant? 😂😂😂
gabi thank you so much to read a meme in Brazilian Portuguese u the best
also I'm loving seeing your channel getting bigger omg BACK ON MY TIME IT WAS ALL GRASS AROUND HERE
Reporting ANYTHING on Facebook goes nowhere
Unless you report it as kiddy stuff, then it goes nowhere faster.
Yeeeeep cause facebook sent their moderation overseas and basically just rely on a very flawed bot.
That proposal video is like a skit little kids would put on for all the parents to watch politely for 20 minutes
9:09 Okay wait... I know this is fake but how is she pregnant, but he's been gone for 3 years?? Did they not think about that plot point hard enough
Edit: Lmao you said that. I didn't get far enough
@15:16 the upwards inflection at the end of every sentence makes me foam at the mouth.
Since your channel was recommended to me couple of week ago and I've watch your back catalog multiple times, your growth has been exponenital. The algorithm is truly working its magic 🤓
I am from Lubbock Tx and this feels accurate to the culture
Never been so fast
Me neither
same lol I was like wait why does this video only have like 10 comments
that's what he said
legit
Get a life
13:53 he looks like lord farquad 😭😭
