[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]So I used to never post stories, I never understood why anyone would, I was like these things disappear after 2 days so if the point is to share a picture of your kids to friends/family who you almost never see, why would you do it in a way where it disappears in 48 hours?  What if your friends/ family just didn't check social media in those couple of days?

Then one day I posted one, just because I never had, because I wanted to put a cute effect on a picture since I'd also never done that before (yes, I know I sound old).  And I realized an hour later that I could see everyone who had viewed it, and I felt so dumb for realizing that OF COURSE this is why everyone posts stories instead of regular posts.  And it made me realize how unhinged some people in my peripheral social circle are because they post new stories every single day!

Also I don't think I have a lot of control over whose stories I view and whose I don't, because I just flip through them mindlessly one by one.  So I'm sure there are some high school friends from 20 years ago who think I'm stalking them when in reality, their stories just always populate in my little line of stories at the top of my FB app that I scroll through as I'm on the toilet every morning.  Only like 20 "friends" ever populate on my stories list, I'm not sure why FB chose those particular people for me, but they did. So I guess people really shouldn't read that much into who viewed it and who didn't. [/quote]

Thank you for sharing this. I don't post stories or look at them. I had no idea they disappeared or that people can see who viewed them. Wow.[/quote]
