Worst Social Networking Sites

We live in a day and age where social sites such as the infamous Facebook and Twitter rest as internet juggernauts. But where does is the line drawn from entertaining websites to total time wasters?

1. Musical.ly

   

   I've never gotten into this site at all. I feel as if it's catered to people with a "cool" music taste, and if you aren't into it, bad luck. It's also stupid because it's full of a bunch of ten-year olds who shouldn't really have a phone lip syncing to inappropriate stuff they don't know is inappropriate. If this is going to be the ultimate '10's memory, I'm not sticking around. Young kids should be doing stuff with their friends and focusing on education to some extent, instead of worrying about what Zara Larson song to lip sync to.

   This is the worst! I have seen online what some people lip sync to. It's terrible! It's ruining the brains of little kids. These days, all everyone cares about is technology. There are some very inappropriate songs. If it was just regular songs, it wouldn't be bad... BUT... there is some terrible language in some of it. I have never, and will never, get interested in this website. Why don't children read books anymore? They just sit on their phones all day every day. It's TERRIBLE!

2. Tumblr

   

   Tumblr is a microblogging and social networking website founded by David Karp in 2007. It was later acquired by Yahoo! in 2013, then by Verizon Communications through its subsidiary Oath Inc., and eventually sold to Automattic in 2019. Tumblr allows users to post multimedia and other content to a short-form... read more

   The community of this site may be the more hypocrite ever met, I received treats just because I disagreed with the eradication of anyone they considered as a burden of their petty life (straight, cis..),

   saying they don't have enough representation, when series/movies games has tons of it, but the Tumblr people overlook that and keep crying about it.. just pathetic..

   I met a person who pretended to be abused, but wanted to commit mass-murder on "the devil males", every single one of them, I could be a white-knight, but I saw past of the lie (also seeing the police and coming back in.. 5seconds? really credible..)

   and people falling for this, wow..

   pretty sure liars that made up a story is common on Tumblr, if it's the case, it's disgusting for those who have lived that kind of experience, I know that an actual victim don't get aggressive when you help them, only attention-seekers does that, because they want more and more and more attention.

   I feel bad for the creator, he created a nice site, the staff helped me, more than FB does.. but the community is dangerous, push people to suicide for inequality, enjoy to be bullies and faking to be the victims when they are not.

   to avoid, really.

3. Snapchat

   

   Snapchat is an American multimedia instant messaging app developed by Snap Inc., originally known as Snapchat Inc. One of its core features is that messages and photos sent through the app are typically accessible only for a short period before disappearing. Over time, Snapchat expanded to include features... read more

   Jesus Christ, it seems like I'm the only one at my school who doesn't get the point of this app. It's Instagram with stupid filters and the picture/video disappears during a limited time. People at my school keep telling me to get the app, but once I get it, I know I'll get addicted even though there is no reason to get addicted to it.

   Imagine instaporn, I mean Instagram, but worse. A. It is a complete barren wasteland of boring, attention seeking fad-followers, B. More nudes C. You can't see pictures more than once D. No one remotely interesting E. Things you could post on Instagram, BUT DON'T for some reason. F. No one interesting. G. Every thing you send is for longer streaks

4. Facebook

   

   Facebook is an online social networking service owned by Meta Platforms, which is headquartered in Menlo Park, California. The platform allows users to interact by commenting on posts, using the Marketplace, sharing photos, making video calls, watching short clips, dating, and playing games within the... read more

   While Facebook isn't the VERY worst website (I'd rather put Buzzfeed at #1 with DeviantArt and Tumblr behind), it has several problems shared by others. Rather than using it for its original design, all that occurs is someone throwing in a famous post before it gets thrown back in the trash can we call history. Second, most of the pictures are either fetish drawings (looking at you DeviantArt) or bland selfie's which get fame for no reason (guys will use the excuse of T&A to defend a girl's selfie). Lastly, giant portions of the Facebook population is immature brats, clueless kids or skanky teens who create their own norm. Thank you for taking the time to read my rant.

5. X

   

   X (formerly known as Twitter) is an online news and social networking service where users post and interact with messages, also known as "tweets," limited to 280 characters. The platform was rebranded to X by Elon Musk in July 2023, following his acquisition of Twitter in October 2022.... read more

   Abomination at it's truest. This ridiculous platform is apparently news worthy these days, with crybabies being offended by literally everything. It has brainwashed the media industry and almost taken over any brain cell that might have survived this apocalypse. If I could, I'd rather live in a time where this thing never existed. One day this is gonna fall or all the offended hypocrites had already killed themselves for not agreeing on opinions.

   Wow I'm Surprised it is No1! I used Twitter for my business updates and used info but Twitter SUCKS Sometimes of the same post & retweet that they post every damn Day and malfunction errors! There are lots of things I can tell you what wrong with Twitter but you all why Twitter is Worst Social Networking Sites! But I do go it for business there ever know the sites has it problems!

6. Google+

   Google+ needs to disappear off the face of the earth. It should not be connected with YouTube and the only reason why it is is because Google knows that no one cares about Google+ and a lot of people care about YouTube. Their thought process is probably "oh if we connect the two, more people will like Google+". They are wrong, and need to accept it already. I don't know a single person who actually uses Google+.

   It's the worst but the Google empire that rules the internet shoves it down your throat by linking it to everything, to do anything online you need a Google+ account. Why Google, did you disgrace your kingdom and force the commoners in the internet from other empires that aren't as powerful, like the new rising empire you suppress, duckduckgo and your rival bing, by making them slave to you by forcing them to use your social media

7. MySpace

   

   Complete social dead zone, constant site updates that do nothing but frustrate and confuse, updates that don't make sense, updates that are optional that should be mandatory, updates that are mandatory that should be optional. Enjoy your slow death, Tom.

   Seemed like a good place to make a profile but only if you were some kind of a musician, actor, model.

   It's completely dead. The owners should just sell the domain.

8. Instagram

   

   Everybody on Instagram gets negative comments on their pictures/posts, but they delete those negative comments immediately because they think their "perfect" and they think that everybody has to love them and they can't handle the negativity they get. They want people to think that they get "all positive comments", but really that's all nothing but a lie because everybody gets negative comments.

   A place where pedophiles, rapists, and stalkers roam... And people willingly post half nude selfies here just for likes aka, attention! This site is only encouraging people to be vain and superficial.

   But there's always exceptions, like the galleries full of (amazing) works of art. (photographs, drawings, paintings, etc. )

9. TikTok

   

   TikTok, known in China as Douyin, is a short-form video hosting service owned by the Chinese company ByteDance.

   It hosts a wide variety of user-generated videos in genres such as pranks, stunts, tricks, jokes, dance, and general entertainment. Videos range in duration from three seconds up to... read more

   It's a toxic app that is making uneducated and untalented teenagers rich and famous. Honestly, I like the idea of a fun video making platform (that's what Vine was) but when you are going to pay some random girls who can hit the woe to music then society is in some serious trouble. And the fact that they think it's some sort of career is even worse. You are making money off of dancing, when people with families are struggling to support them because of their low income. You hear that, tiktok brats? You are uneducated and selfish.

   More than half of all people are addicted to TikTok in modern day which could take time away from spending with family and friends and it has data collection, pervs and creeps, poor content moderation and lots of infamous dangerous challenges have been associated with the platform. It also has a controversial feature which filters out people who are deemed as old, fat, ugly and poor to only show you what you want to see which makes only certain people popular and creates suicidal thoughts and unrealistic body expectations.

10. 4chan

    

    4chan is an anonymous English-language imageboard website launched by Christopher "moot" Poole in October 2003. It hosts a wide variety of boards dedicated to topics including anime, video games, cooking, weapons, music, literature, history, fitness, politics, and sports.... read more

    This is cancer at its finest. Literally everything is just anime. Every. Single. Thing ANIME IS CANCER. Especially when it's shared. The worst part is, it's built for memes, yet you anonymously post, so you get 0 credit for yiur meme, no matter how dank. 4chan is literally one of the most demonic, grotesque things on this planet Earth, and it needs to be killed with white phosphorous.

    Not really a social media platform but there is child oh la la on there and the platform is not for kids because if your on the wrong section of it 4chan could disturb you.

The Newcomers
11. ?

    Discord

    

    Why is this so low? Should be higher on the list.

12. ?

    Skinseed

    The app is definitely revolutionary with Minecraft skins, but the major issues are that

    1. The sexters/virtual sex on a 4+ app (check the App Store, it actually says 4+)

    2. Mary Sues that are predictably boring, and always get the alpha male (most are based off of Aphmau characters)

    3. The festering attention seekers (trolls, fake depressed people, people lying about being LGBT, etc.)

    4. The Instagram wannabes (they don't cause me much harm)

    5. The sheer amount of LGBT people on the app (it seems like 85-90% of all people on the app are LGBT in some way)

The Contenders

13. Wattpad

    Every story on there is just love and fanfics. Almost all the 'good' stories suck. The better stories are trashed and spat on, while crappy fanfictions with terrible grammar get all the attention. Seriously, these people need to get their grammar right, and learn how to judge a fanfic.

    This place needs a rehaul and more definied rules. I've had my work stolen multiple times by teenagers and they do nothing about it.

    Many people there are retarded authors who watch Twinkle Toes and can't write a proper fanfiction

14. Vine

    

    This site is literally useless. All you could do is post 6 second videos and apparently appeals to the juvenile Internet crowd. And even worse, the kids at my school won't shut up about the damn vines

    At least TikTok has more substance than this!

    So let's get this straight, all you do is on this website is watch a cluster of short awful 6 second videos most of which are pathetic atempts at comedy, and this garbage is popular, I'm sorry but there is nothing funny about people saying Dees nuts, what happened and a kid getting a math equation wrong is not funny, it's just sad that stuff like that is considered comedy on this website is really sad, warning to those who haven't seen vine before should also be cautious of twerk videos

15. Reddit

    

    Reddit (stylized in lowercase) is an American social news aggregation, content rating, and discussion website. Registered users, known as "Redditors," submit content including links, text posts, images, and videos. Other users then vote these submissions up or down.... read more

    There are several sub-reddit groups that hate and insult women. There is even one that hates men that are gentlemen and good to women. Unbelievable to think such moronic people exists

    Only signed up to it this morning, posted two things and the users started to just nit pick pointless irrelevant stuff, pretty bad community if you ask me.

    If you are any female, there goes your rights and are told that you are a fake geek girl. Also told to go back to the kitchen.

16. Deviantart

    

    DeviantArt is an online artwork, videography, and photography community. The website was launched on August 7, 2000, by Angelo Sotira, Scott Jarkoff, Matthew Stephens, and others. It hosts a wide variety of user-generated art, including digital art, photography, traditional media, and literature.... read more

    DeviantArt is known for child pornography, fetish and MLP shindig. The site is also known for its corrupt staff and removing and relocating everybody's "deviations" for copyright infringement and other violations. They don't actually seem to care about child porn on some of the members' accounts. I mean, one member had hundreds of shindig that are clearly underage children as the the staff got more problems than Milo Yiannapoulos or Donald Trump as I NEVER draw or photograph anything inappropriate. In the end, the DeviantArt staff needs to man up!

    DeviantArt is not perfect, it needs some updating and more care about the content in it, but overlooking all that, I've felt DeviantArt has been the best Social Network I've met; people there treat me way too good and at any rate admins are more pending than others Social Networks I've met... I really feel I wouldn't change DeviantArt for anything.

17. Fanfiction.net

    I don't know what this is but just reading the title made me vote for it

18. Omegle

    

    I saw a Youtube video of an adult on omegle then some creepy old man came on. The creepy man started jerking off when the adult said she was TEN. She censored out the old mans small stick though thank god

    What is the purpose of the site when one one can contact another in a few seconds, all you see are flashes of people. Many as any other site don't want to chat with you Period...

    Omegle, the place where 40 year-old men go on video chat and attempt to show you them jacking off.

19. Friendster

20. Chatroulette

    Where people can talk to strangers!

21. Twitch

    

    Twitch is an American live streaming platform primarily focused on video game content, including esports competitions. The platform also hosts music broadcasts, creative projects, and in real life streaming.

    Twitch is operated by Twitch Interactive, a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc. It launched... read more

22. Flickr

    

    Flickr is an image and video hosting service created by Ludicorp in 2004. It has changed ownership several times and has been owned by SmugMug since April 2018. As of 2023, Flickr hosts billions of images and continues to serve as a platform for photographers and visual artists to share their work.

    People post pictures of themselves on there and their dumb enough to not realize that there are rapists and stalkers on the internet. People post fake pictures on Flickr too.

    Flickr is how I learned B&W & color film developing. I follow those who document their work. I ask respectful questions and I share what I've learned as appropriate.

    I agree people are becoming so dumb, the internet is not safe for any social media

23. Moviestarplanet

    This website sucks, was on it for about a year and it kept getting worse and worse, I had people telling me that they knew were I lived and telling my little (9 year old) cousin that they were going to "make her have a baby"! I was awful.

    I don't know what I hate more~this or damn musical.ly. and I HAATEE musical.ly with a firey passion. firstly, if you don't have V.I.P. you struggle more than you ever have in school to get good clothes, ore more than ten coins. And let's not forget about how it scarred me for life when I was 6 or 7. So me as a sensitive, sweet, innocent 7 year old in like 2015, ya gotta expect me to like disney princesses, and get scared easily. Right you are, friend! Searching the photos people upload, I found this freaky girl who's pictures were literally disney princesses as ZOMBIES. ROTTING, BLEEDING, WALKING DEAD ZOMBIES. I was so scared, even after my mom talked to me about it. That experience left me with paranoia and extreme fear of the dark that still lingers with me as a 6th grader. I seriously can't go to the bathroom at night without fearing that Walking Dead Cinderella with an axe will pop out and murder me. It's not even funny, I need help. Also, it may be responsible for my fears of certain things written in certain fonts, certain sounds, etc, etc. SO thank you, Moviestarplanet and that girl for causing whats wrong with me!

24. YouTube

    

    YouTube is a global video-sharing website headquartered in San Bruno, California, United States. It was created by three former PayPal employees on February 14, 2005. In November 2006, Google acquired YouTube for US$1.65 billion, and it is currently ranked as the second most visited website worldwide... read more

    The community is not even better than Tumblr, Deviantart and such.. the site has a good side with the let's play of a few youtubers,

    what I hate is the spoiled follower-type, sincerely, those who are exigeant about the content or presence of a youtuber,

    I have already seen some "if you don't do more videos, I unsuscribe", sometimes with an insult.. not mentioning those who pass a said-youtuber for either their RP or "selling free-iphones", this is just sick..

    I mean, a Youtuber is not a robot, the person can't be here 24hrs, not everyone are into popular games and should put them in their playlists by exigeance of their "fans".

    I hope the community could understand and be more patient in the future.

25. Ask.Fm

    

    There is no way of accomplishing anything with this useless social medium. This is basically an up close and personal interview, in which questions are answered to cater to the likes of the general public, solely for the purposes of attention. People are rated LITERALLY on face value, not to mention the amount of deprecation one will experience. Purposeless, shallow, and overall horrible.

    Worst social media site ever. This should be at #1. This is the abomination of the world wide web. It's basically useless, mostly children use it, who are defenseless against bullies. People here are judged at face value and get bullied - and it's harmful in many other ways.

    This site doesn't have any advantages or benefits that would make it worth using it.

26. Bebo

    Awful site. People who you don't know will come to your page and attack you if you posted an opinion somewhere they don't agree with. If you don't set your profile to private. Never was much people on it was just a fad with Irish and English teenagers. Rubbish really

    This is a truly bad site! I've read about it because my daughter wanted to have an account and after I read about it I was speechless

    Original Bebo was better, now I'm past the age of Bebo so who cares. I quit Bebo years ago.

27. iFunny

    

    iFunny is a humor-based website and mobile application developed by Cyprus-based FunCorp. It features user-submitted memes in the form of images, videos, and animated GIFs.

    The app once included a built-in meme creator tool that allowed users to generate their own content. It describes itself... read more

    Wait, only 30? VOTE THIS HIGHER! Never laughed, too many lewd accounts, and oh my god so many uneducated, egotistic, homophobic, racist people are on this app. DON'T use this app, speaking from a year-long user. It just puts negative thoughts inside you.

    When I went on there expecting to see funny posts, I hardly even cracked a smile.

    Just a bunch of unfunny idiots.
