Anecdotally, I told a friend last night that I had deleted my Facebook 6 months ago so they wouldn't wonder why I had de-friended them. They said they had had the exact same conversation like 3 times this month already with other people. Facebook may continue expanding around the world, but it's popularity has certainly peaked in the US.

- madez 9y agoI have seen the same process unfold on multiple occasions. I wondered if Facebook would break the cycle and sustain, but my bet is it will fail, too.

- cm2187 9y agoI didn’t delete my account but removed the app on my smartphone last month which is as good as. My feed became infested with commercials posing as friends likes and posts. Also the last 18m people have been using a lot facebook to voice their political views. I am not opposed to reading views diverging from mine when they are argumented and constructive. However argumented and constructive articles isn’t what people post on facebook. The whole thing became obnoxious more than anything else. My humble opinion is that facebook could disappear as quickly as it appeared.
