Let's try and get 1,000,000 replies to this post

This of course only relates to, say, posting your own music/videos/etc and not asking people to share political or cute animal stuff - that annoys me.

Yeah, I guess my stance is softer than I first said. I can get behind "Help me spread the word about my upcoming school fundraiser / gig / etc." type posts, but I'm with you on the political / cute animal / "Help me get 1000 likes!" nonsense, and the "Copy / paste this into your status and tag 10 friends" chain-letter garbage.
 
My experience as a content creator has been that no one looks at the majority of your stuff. Facebook algorithms specifically detract against people (even your own friends/family/fans) from seeing your posts if they are self-promoting unless you pay them money to promote your post. Thus, asking people to share it is literally the only way it will ever get seen by more than 10-15 people.

Yea I don't see a problem with any of that. Not much different than trying to organize a local street crew or whatever.
 
The number of attendants for tomorrow's party is decreasing by the hour. :facepalm: Even the girl solely responsible for making me look forward to tomorrow has gone from "attending" to "maybe". Dear Universe, don't make this a disappointing Friday night for me...

Set your status to "maybe" too. Tell her you're unsure about the party, and whether she wants to go have a drink with you instead.
 
Tell them there'll be punch and pie?

I'm not the host so that really isn't in my control.

Thing is, I have never spoken to her and she knows nothing about me. She's just a new girl at school (not in my class). After two weeks of exchanging glances, I was planning to break the ice tomorrow.
 
Admittedly, my advice has a chance of backfiring in that case.
