It's not crazy; people are panicking over Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp being down and they keep trying to connect to those services. I mean I would panic too if I were social media junky.

It’s not just "social media junkies", a very pretentious phrase to use considering you’re writing it in a comment on a social network. Hundreds of thousands of apps use Facebook APIs, often in the background too (including FB's own apps).

Is "alcoholic" a very pretentious word to use considering that the person saying it has a beer once a week?
