Where do you get those fraud messages? - On Instagram.
There was a boom of putting cherry blossom flowers on your head.
Made me wonder where they plucked them from.
Hey guys it's Cathy Cat and today we are gonna go and Ask Japanese here on
the streets of Tokyo. The topic this time is gonna be:
What people do really annoy you online on the social media?
Let's go and Ask Japanese.
And don't forget to subscribe if you are new. Let's start.
Are you using some sort of Social Networking Services?
You mean SNS? Yeah we do.
Today we are asking, who annoys you on SNS.
A moment when you think "That's just not on."
Or "That person is a bit too vocal."
Do you have something?
People who say "I just want to know a person who is fashionable."
Being fashionable is all that matters.
Do you get messages like that?
There is a hashtag called "I want to know fashionable people".
And trading companies trying to get new members.
I hate those!
Messages like "Would you like to earn some money."
Those are generally fraud.
When it's clear it's a fraud.
Where do you get those fraud messages?
I get them on Instagram. - Yeah it's pretty bad there.
What do you do when that happens?
I block them straight away.
I pretend I didn't see them.
Pretend it didn't happen.
Are you using any SNS?
Yes. - What are you using?
Instagram. - Instagram.
Doing Instagram you might get some annoying people. What messages do you get?
Annoying? Let me see...
People who write super down and negative things in their Instagram Stories.
Super dark...
Things like that.
People who constantly update their stories, into lots of little bits.
- People who upload TOO much? - It's hard to watch all of that.
When people complain about things. It's kind of weak...
They don't have to say it there.
- They could have kept a little more in. - Exactly that.
Things like that are annoying online.
People who then add fuel to it by adding comments like "You have no right to say that."
There are people who will instantly react to it like that.
If they would just leave it be, things would go back to normal.
One thing that interests me... maybe that happens in Japan too?
On Facebook someone will write "XY is such a cruel person" and then
the actual XY person will answer that comment with a comment
And then both of them will continue to have a fight online, and you can just watch. Same in Japan?
Yes you see that sometimes in Japan too.
I will definitely not join into that fight. But I watch it.
What do you think then?
Honestly...
Seeing that kind of online fight is kind of entertaining for bystanders.
Bystanders tend to wonder "Is this the right place to have a fight with each other?"
Exactly.
Are you using some SNS? - Yes.
"That's not on" what's that in your opinion?
Fake company sponsorships, "If you do this you'll loose weight"...
or "Please come and look at my page too."
No thanks I won't.
I think that's about it.
Yes like that.
Are there some things that really annoy you?
Things that are just not on? - Does that include posts? - Yes.
People who only put up food.
Yes fine, the food looks tasty but... if you look at it at the wrong time during the day...
all it does it make people hangry.
I wish they wouldn't do that.
What else do you not like on SNS?
I don't like people who do anything in order to get the clicks.
There are so many who do that.
Example? In spring, there was a boom where girls would put cherry blossoms on their head.
Those pictures were popular.
Made me wonder where they got the flowers from and if they damaged the tree, getting them.
When it was hydrangea season, two girls just ripped the flowers out,
and then put them on their head for "instagram-able" pictures...
That's damaging nature for the sake of some pictures.
I think that's not on.
You using some sort of SNS? What are you using?
- Instagram. - Me too, Instagram.
I'm a Twitter boy.
Glad it's not the old platform Mixi you're using. That's pretty old.
Using those SNS, which posts of others make you wish you had not seen them?
Posts about animal suffering and such, that might pop up.
Why so? - Does this need to get spread? I don't think so.
If they really thought that then...
there are some things that need to get spread ...
Dealing with this might be one of the problems of social networking.
People whose instagram stories are boring.
I don't need a story of them all going "cheers". Don't need that.
They must have made everyone wait in order to take that instagram story too.
That stuff is useless. Nobody needs to see that.
I think more boring things are interesting to me.
Silly things like a stand up comedy joke.
It's a skill to make people laugh in the short time that you can post a Story.
On Twitter and Instagram, they try you to spend money to spread your posts.
Your recent post has X% so spend some money to get further reach. It's annoying.
"Click here to do that" - Stuff like that.
Girls, do you also get random messages like "You're beautiful, let's do it."
I get that a lot.
- I might respond. I might answer them, but I would never meet them.
Do you ignore some? - Lightl y.
Are you using SNSS? - SSS?
- SNS. - SNS? I see ...
You were too fast. - Sorry.
Are you doing some SNS? - I am.
I use SNS a lot, sometimes we have some people that give us a hard time. Who is that?
People that annoy me online?
People who spoil you endings.
Can I have that again?
People who spoil me the ending of a show I haven't seen yet.
Movies and such? - Movies too, TV series and such. Especially them.
Even trailers, I wish I could unsee them.
- I didn't want to see that yet! - Yes... like that.
Do you get that a lot? - Yes, right?
Hate comments and such.
What kind of anti- comments are tough?
For example on YouTube. If they hate the content so much, why are they watching it.
But they write a lot of hate instead.
That makes me question the movements of the haters.
Those were already all of your questions. Thank you so much.
Are we good? I'll start then.
Urgh, social networking sometimes sucks a little bit.
So when does it suck the most? People say, when others are fighting, even though it's
kind of entertaining to see people fight online but at the same time...
Also people doing everything they can to get the likes and the clicks.
For example destroying property, doing stupid things or damaging flowers
that's one of the things the director of Ask Japanese was very unhappy about
when we did a shoot with the hydrangeas. There were girls who picked the hydrangeas
"to make a pretty picture" and then tossed them away.
Which is a total waste. That kind of thing is what people think sucks a little
when you use social networking services.
How is that for you? What do you think sucks when people do it online?
Let us know, looking forward to your comments. Also, right now you are in my room
with my pretty dresses. This is where I do MY YouTube videos.
It would be nice if you could come over to my "Cathy Cat" channel.
No director, stop it! I am trying to plug my channel here.
If you type in Cathy Cat, you can find my channel. Also there are beautiful pictures that we took
without damaging any hydrangeas, and those are on my instagram.
They are taken by the director of Ask Japanese and they are pretty pretty!
If you could, come over to my instagram channel!
Channel? Well Instagram. They have channels there now too, the IGTV.
I wish you a lovely day and I hope I catch you soon for another YouTube video on Ask Japanese.
Have a lovely day! Bye!
