This one took a lonnnng time. It was hard to find a good piggy on Pixabay/Pexels, so I had to make do. This is, as you already know, based on some art I created last summer.
Facebook Sucks: A live demonstration
Super busy - same as ever, right?
Can't spell out the details, but I'm going to try to find a way to post more. Thanks for your support. Gotta run, but leave a COMMENT if you like! ☺
Oooh YAY!!!!!! It's animated now :) :) :) Great work and GREAT Artivism as always @overkillcoin, you know I loves ya!! The original cartoon from this was one of the first things of yours that I ever shared, I shared it on fb of course hahahhaaa, and twitter.
You're a fantastic supporter @lyndsaybowes - without friends like you I'd still be making weak memes and painfully bad articles like the 'good old days' <3
Feel free to share the new gif on fB too --- although it's like 4 mb hahaha...
You nailed this one! So true. Facebook is sucking up the money while the Fakebook community creates the content for them. Evil! I have nothing to do with them.
I pop in every now and then (30 - 60 seconds at a time) and it's horrible... People complaining about the cold weather and how they don't like their toilets... Well that both brightened my day and made me smarter!! :D
😂 I was just explaining this phenomenon to a new friend yesterday. When I explained to them that it is the content creators (IE us) that make Facebook worth anything, but we never see any of that worth, they were immediately 😵 "How do I sign up for Steemit?"
That would be both useful & hilarious. Maybe less 'pamphlet' style and more like email-able super easy to understand infographics (of which you are already a pro) that cover common questions about Steemit:
Is it real money?
How Steemit is and is not like other social media platforms
It's free, here's how to get started
Tips for earning your first $XX
Subject-matter that regular plebes are used to consuming from other lite-info sites like Buzzfeed, Forbes, person blogs, Listicles, etc.
My theory is that it's all in PRESENTATION and LANGUAGE. Everything else is self-explanatorily awesome.
😂 I feel so greedy like I'm always asking you for illustrations and things. You could make an eBook with all of your illustrations and tips and sell it for STEEM!
This came out awesome!!!
The piggy in your art from the summer looked diabolical...sinister and evil.
This piggy is rather enjoying himself....happy as can be as he sucking up the thumbs for cash. Dressed dapper too. You got skills!!
: )
What was the hardest part? Finding a suitable pig?
Yeah, I never did like the pig I drew who had a face like mashed potatoes :-r Some other artist told me not to change a thing...
Finding images is a bit of a hassle, because I have to picture what will work the best. Then knocking out the backgrounds takes some time... I'd say animating the dollars/thumbs ups was the toughest part. They have to be timed a certain way so the gif loops smoothly, that takes some trial and effort ☺
Plz 2 gives my posts a very likes up so I might can build the future for our
Lolz it's really funny and true... Somehow you managed to tell me something while I was looking at the animation without you opening your mouth. Awesome mate... Facebook really sucks @overkillcoin over and out @dee-y
It was really bad when fB messenger kept pinging me with advertisements. At this point, one would have to think like a zombie to stay on fB in my opinion.
No not at all.. ha ha... they are very high end vacuums with advanced technology... so I'm just ranting at fakebook... for using good tools to efficiently steal the wealth its users create.
Got it lolz... I think the "Rainbow" is the most expensive vacuum cleaner... Well the "Kirby" is pretty terrible too... Is that where the video game character comes from?
I think Kirby vacs have/had their own company anthem that the sales guys would sing before meetings... I wonder if they had a Kirby altar to go with the songs lolzz....
A fakebook sucks :) how much sense in these words. But if you understand, then it really is. I'm sure in the future facebook will suck .... but not money.
Thanks, it's fun
Yes! Death to Facebook and YouTube. Soon all of my YouTube content will be on DTube along with all new content...and my facebook profile will simply have a picture of the steemit logo. VIva la Revolution. ~Cheers
It's sad and yet funny how Youtube is speeding up an already existent exodus of users... I REALLY need to be doing more on dTube, it's unfortunate I'm not. Take care!!!!
Photoshop, After Effects... Hard to tell, I've been using them for years. I think someone can get to a good level in 4 - 6 months, the rest is hard work and creativity.
Ok, so you've been at it for a while. Graphics design has never really been in my wheelhouse, but I admire the people who do it well. Was wondering if you used a program that noobs could use.
Cool, thanks! I haven't had funding for editing software, but I have been able to do a surprising amount of damage using good old-fashion Paint. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
That pig is hilarious and love the vacuum 😉
So true about assbook.. Fb just no place to be and honestly shallow people who whines over nothing and I can't stand the negativity.
But my family and friends still use it so I just check in if they say they have something to show or whatever..
Thank you for sharing and I love this thing always makes me smile.
Know you are crazy busy but I don't care if my comment is like a novel 😁😁hahaha
Stay Awsome my friend! Talk soon
I havent been super busy in the last 2 weeks, except for Steem-it-ing... but work is on the way... It's just so insane though, the ups and downs... When can I be on Steemit full time haha....
So true about assbook.. Fb just no place to be and honestly shallow people who whines over nothing and I can't stand the negativity.
I never heard it called that before... What's interesting is even before Steemit, fB was losing subscribers to snapChat, instagram and twitter...
I honestly only spend 30 - 90 seconds a visit to facebook lately haha... just seems so pointless and boring...
Ok so two calm weeks except for here on steemit... Lol
And work incoming.. Yes that is a little like a 🎢 roller-coaster ups and downs.
Ohh I also wish I could spend all time here to but I have my day job and it takes all my days away only evenings free... Lol sux
I knew about Instagram and Twitter but snap chat never used that but heard of it.
Interesting but I can't say I'm surprised fb is just not a place I would spend my time or energy. I only use messenger with my friends and family.. Lol
Talk to you soon.... Have a good evening!
That's why I do not use Facebook I never liked and the truth I did one for business and already leave it long ago... Steemit If I adore him and much more ;)
FB doesn't really give incentive to socialise with new people in my opinion... It didn't give me enough incentive... Steemit is a real community I think ☺
My gifs tend to have a lot of color in them when I'm in animation phase. I get careless about the colour range. But gifs have a colour range of only 256 colours. So, things can look dithered and posterized.
Yup, the gifs with a lower color range before conversion tend to look a lot better, the limited colors are used to make it look smooth and clean. Too many colors can get messy
Haha funny but true.really amazing animation.totally agree with this post.we wasted all the time in Facebook but we get nothing.but in steemit we earn and learn.
Thank you OKC...but you would have spotted her for sure.
Trying to figure out who is real and not a bot. Who's a man. Who's a woman. And now we have.... who is a celebrity? Amazing! lol
I will give her at least this....she actually reads the posts.
"Funny post is my favorite ..I enjoy to love smile.." Fake Salena - 2018
your post @overkillcoin is very interesting and useful for visitors and readers because the contents are detailed and complete no difference with professional article writers ... continue to work ..

I already put it in the group this morning haha!! :)
Thanks, let me know if you get some funny reactions :)
You nailed this one! So true. Facebook is sucking up the money while the Fakebook community creates the content for them. Evil! I have nothing to do with them.
Wonderful!

See, you're already an ambassador, that's great ☺
I had said in another comment that fB was more or less a scam... Just icky!
Maybe I should make some printable steemit materials to hand out, do you think those would be useful or am I thinking too old skool :D

I took a screen shot of that and put it on the dusty to-do list haha...

Appreciate your comment @dee-y!!! :)
Busy man as always! Yet busy is better than slow 😉
Are you trying to say that facebook takes all the profit from your post?
I hope I am correct~!
Exactly!!! :D
They re-sell your info to advertisers and make insane amounts of money from it...
Hahhaaha. Can't stop laughing,this is funny. Well I can say you tried with the material available
I can never get the time back I wasted on facebook, Mr. Zuckerburg's cruel torture device that drinks your moments from your veins :(
Facebook is shitbook . I deleted fb app . After joining steem , i am never looking back at facebook .
It was really bad when fB messenger kept pinging me with advertisements. At this point, one would have to think like a zombie to stay on fB in my opinion.
That's pain in the ass , they already lost millions of users this quarter .
Excellent news, they have been slapping users in the face for far too long.
Ha ha ha! So cool... the bastard... he's even using a Dyson!
Are Dysons bad? :D It was the best pic on pixabay... of course, I had to add the canister and make it all bubble-like... ☺
No not at all.. ha ha... they are very high end vacuums with advanced technology... so I'm just ranting at fakebook... for using good tools to efficiently steal the wealth its users create.
Got it lolz... I think the "Rainbow" is the most expensive vacuum cleaner... Well the "Kirby" is pretty terrible too... Is that where the video game character comes from?
That's why they're so expensive... he's probably collecting royalties!
I think Kirby vacs have/had their own company anthem that the sales guys would sing before meetings... I wonder if they had a Kirby altar to go with the songs lolzz....
Ha ha... that’s nuts!
Great one ! I laughed pretty hard :D.
Facebook is losing traffic and user engagement, Steem is coming for YAAAAAA!
I think so, I really do... Steemit is also like the hydra monster... so many different apps can be built on the blockchain with relative ease ☺
A fakebook sucks :) how much sense in these words. But if you understand, then it really is. I'm sure in the future facebook will suck .... but not money.
Thanks, it's fun
Glad you stopped by, hope you can visit my Lambo gif some day :)
I already appreciated Lambo and left a comment there :)
wow...thats so funny... thats geat
animation of that art...
i like very much....specially thanks for your god post..
keep up it...
Don't you understand that it's a pig? If you don't I will unvote you :)
Yes! Death to Facebook and YouTube. Soon all of my YouTube content will be on DTube along with all new content...and my facebook profile will simply have a picture of the steemit logo. VIva la Revolution. ~Cheers
It's sad and yet funny how Youtube is speeding up an already existent exodus of users... I REALLY need to be doing more on dTube, it's unfortunate I'm not. Take care!!!!
Hi @overkillcoin, I can't just stand by and watch Mark Zuckerberg destroy the internet.
I love Steemit platform. ♥
Thanks for understanding guy, I hope Steemit has a long, productive life span.
Ha ha. That's cool. And I agree, it can be a pain finding the right image on the free-use sites. Looks like you found a good one though.
What program did you use to make this? How long did it take you to learn how to learn the program?
Photoshop, After Effects... Hard to tell, I've been using them for years. I think someone can get to a good level in 4 - 6 months, the rest is hard work and creativity.
Ok, so you've been at it for a while. Graphics design has never really been in my wheelhouse, but I admire the people who do it well. Was wondering if you used a program that noobs could use.
Thanks!
I'd check out affinity designer, it has a photoshop clone and an illustrator clone. $50 one time price, no monthly charges.
Not sure about a cost effective animation software. Maybe Black Magic Design's free version?
Cool, thanks! I haven't had funding for editing software, but I have been able to do a surprising amount of damage using good old-fashion Paint. Desperate times call for desperate measures.
Wow, What an amazing animation!
Thanks - although it took me a very long time to do :D
This is so good!
Count on me for craziness ☺
That pig is hilarious and love the vacuum 😉

I like this one too. Pity you couldn't have Mark "Suckerberg" instead of piggy. But I get it, he'd probably sue you.
I'm not trying to be unkind, but I can't stand looking at his face... it's more than the aesthetics though... He's just so arrogant... ☺
That's why I do not use Facebook I never liked and the truth I did one for business and already leave it long ago... Steemit If I adore him and much more ;)
FB doesn't really give incentive to socialise with new people in my opinion... It didn't give me enough incentive... Steemit is a real community I think ☺
Aha, you're absolutely right.
I always wondered why some gifs look like they're 16 or 8 bit - is it web optimisation for low bandwidth connections? Like a comment if you leave!
My gifs tend to have a lot of color in them when I'm in animation phase. I get careless about the colour range. But gifs have a colour range of only 256 colours. So, things can look dithered and posterized.
All Gifs? Wow, didn't know that... Thanks for the explanation!
Yup, the gifs with a lower color range before conversion tend to look a lot better, the limited colors are used to make it look smooth and clean. Too many colors can get messy
damn greedy pigs :P I guess that's what you answer to when you go in as a publicly traded company
It's amazing all the comments I'm missing lately. Yep! Hopefully more and more will see fB as a parasitic stain on the internet ☺
I call this.. slow poison disruption.
FB can never recover from the injury steemit will cause.
Wow that's a vivid way to describe it.
Also, it's a nice name you have I think @richforever
Haha funny but true.really amazing animation.totally agree with this post.we wasted all the time in Facebook but we get nothing.but in steemit we earn and learn.
Thank you for being understanding about the situation. Facebook was - and is - a scam :(
I feel like Facebook is doing Myspace and Steemit will take Fb's place in coming years .
My face when I think about the future
Lmao !
Lol, good 1!
Okay!!!
Lol hahaha..
Thats a great animation.
Actually I totally agree with you ..
Keep it up.
Thanks for sharing...
Facebook is the worst!!!
Yes you are right ..Actually i huge waste time in facebook..
But steemit platform is the best platform ..
I love steemit platform..
Go ahead...
Oh wow!!! How lucky we are to have Salena Gomez on @overkillcoin's post.
Such an honor. I'm sure he's flattered. lol
Can't make this stuff up. : )
@tinylayla you win much upvote! Fake Selena is fortunate to not be flagged (this time). ☺
Thank you OKC...but you would have spotted her for sure.
Trying to figure out who is real and not a bot. Who's a man. Who's a woman. And now we have.... who is a celebrity? Amazing! lol
I will give her at least this....she actually reads the posts.
"Funny post is my favorite ..I enjoy to love smile.." Fake Salena - 2018
"I show my teeth in happy friendly manners to demonstrate a gooders attidutes for ur postings"
Go ahead and WHAT? Go ahead and impersonate a mediocre celebrity? ☺
You are funny . I am sending this gif to FB .
Loving your work!! Found you since you appeared on msp waves! Loving everyyything since :)
Thanks so much! Sadly, my usual job has gotten out of control so I am not able to post as much as I would like to here.
