Because everyone is. I quit Facebook for a year or two, trying to get people to email or WhatsApp or whatever. didn't work. So I lived with people closer to me reaching out to my SO through Facebook, or sending messages in another way. I eventually made an account again because there were instances where an alternative solution was too much of a pita. So I now check every other week, respond to messages when I have time, and ignore the rest. I think I've posted one thing in the past year. Still trying to get people to contact me through WhatsApp or signal, which works really well for the NL (>95% have wa), but not so much for international friends. I mostly don't get the drive, the need to post mundane things on there. I just can't get myself to believe anyone will care that I took a picture of me eating lunch, or whatever.
