I did like 9 hours of web training to be a "certified social media strategist." Yes, the certificate is worth roughly the recycling value of the sheet of paper I printed it on.

I also spent yesterday establishing 2 gmail accounts, 2 twitter accounts, an Instagram account, a Facebook business page, a Pinterest business page and a half-dozen profiles on SEO tools.

You would think that the former would leave me well-prepared for the latter but HOLY FUCK social media is bullshit. Have you ever just like, walked into Facebook going "I'ma make me a new account?" "With the privacy set right'n'shit?" Talk about dark patterns. I cooked off two fuckin' Instagram usernames because their setup is so shit that you really have to work to not associate it with your primary account and oh, by the way, once you delete a username it's gone forever, sorry/notsorry, fuck off we're Facebook eat shit.

I'll say this: Pinterest are not dicks. "Oh, you wanted to make a business page instead? Sure, okay. Here do this." "Here are the only five things we care about you not fucking up as a business now run free."

If Reddit is for boys and Pinterest is for girls, the girls are fuckin' winning, y'all.
