Default Facebook and powerboats know it alls

Has anyone seen the growing number of people on Facebook that seem to know everything about powerboats? Weather it's a pic, question, or a sale add. There is a growing number of people who seem to bash or want to tell you how to do it. Then after looking into it they don't even have a boat. It's like dar is all over Facebook telling them what to say.

I'm sure they have been here before, they just got chased away by the educated audience here.

I too have noticed it, it is comical

Maybe it's just Facebook doing another psychological experiment.

I noticed the same thing, people went as far as saying my boat for sale had bad motors or I was trying to pull a scam.

I really could care less about social media. I don't text, tweet, or facebook. Some one sends me a message on my cell I call them. Phone and email is all I need.

The amount of bad advice on some of those posts are ridiculous. People don't do there own research anymore, and just spew information they over heard someone talking about that wasn't credible to begin with. There is a guy that I see on almost every post giving advice to people that honestly doesn't have a clue. Not saying I know everything, but I know enough to know he doesn't know **** and just throws back info he heard from somewhere lol
