It seems everyone has an opinion these days. Whether people are using social media to complain about Bo Pelini being fired, or decry the handling of the riots in Ferguson, they’re making their voices heard. Sometimes too often.

We all have that one Facebook friend (or three) that never seems to stop sharing news stories or reposting upsetting pictures about some current event. All day, every day. Ad nauseam. Until the next hot topic comes along, of course.

The annoyance is twofold when the incessant poster is painfully misinformed about about a situation or argues with people who offer dissenting opinions.

It’s relatively simple to keep yourself from seeing posts that you don’t like on your favored social media platform, whether it’s hiding people from your feed on Facebook or using a brower add-on like Tumblr Savior to block certain tags on your dash.

There are entire HTML kits dedicated to hiding obnoxious posts on Tumblr. If that’s not an indication that there’s a problem, we don’t know what is.

Remember in 2012 when Facebook was blowing up with all those STOP KONY posts? Did liking or sharing any of those posts actually save any child soldiers from Joseph Kony’s guerrilla armies? No.

While everyone is free to share their likes, beliefs and opinions however they choose, chances are your Facebook friends are sick of it.

We believe that, rather than posting on social media about the world’s problems, it’s much more effective to donate money to charitable organizations or get involved in a cause you believe in.

Hit “like” if you agree.
