[quote=Anonymous]You know, one reason I quit Facebook is because I found myself increasingly annoyed by everyone on Facebook, even people I liked. I got sick of the banal posts. And I was also connected to tons of people I either didn't know that well or knew fairly well but didn't like that much. I think the era this whole dispute takes place during was this explosion in people connecting on Facebook -- people would connect because you were in the same barre class or because your kids went to school together. You'd connect with your neighbors, your coworkers, your cousins. I think I went from having maybe 100 friends on Facebook (mostly people my age with similar lives to mine) to having like 1000 friends from all different parts of my life, all different ages and different approaches to social media. I hated it!

At first I just muted people a lot and tried to avoid going on the app. But I found that it was addictive and that when I did go on it, I'd get sucked into it and wind up scrolling through posts and photos from people I didn't like very much. It was the social media version of the "hate watch". And it made me feel gross and tacky. So I quite FB cold turkey and have never regretted it. I remember thinking back before I did it how lame it was that I might stay up an hour later just to look at wedding photos from some former coworker so I could evaluate her dress and decor on tackiness. How small and lame that was, and how it was all happening in my own head, too. Such a waste of time and energy.

Anyway, I really wish these people had maybe had the same epiphany.[/quote]
