I quit Facebook in 2008 and restarted using it last year. I use it defensively more or less once a week. I must say it's fun to play with it's patterns and rewarding when he welcomes you with "good morning" when it's night :)
But you realise how much he knows about you and how much discipline you need to escape it's algorithms. For example I click on random profiles and wait for them to request my friendship (supposedly because fb suggested me to them for friendship). But sometimes I must resist clicking on really interesting people because I'm afraid fb would know too much about me.
It's even more difficult when scrolling. If I stop scrolling on something it thinks I'm interested in the same kind of content. Sometimes I slip. Fortunately I'm "friend" with very few real friends. Most of my "friends" are random people. So my timeline consists of random things that are more or less interesting depending on my mood.
