Facebook has become the landline telephone. You dont want to get rid of it, it's good for keeping in touch with those few people you don't see often, it's pretty much all spam, and its increasingly bundled in to shit you use so its actually more annoying to outright cancel it than just ignore it.
- subpixel 9y agoIt's interesting that you mention landlines. I feel like I've been slightly ahead of the curve in giving up: a landline (~2005), cable (~2007), and Facebook (2014). Twitter and Instagram still exist on my phone, and I have the occasional desire to push content to them, but I haven't in about a year. I feel about the experience of swimming through other people's political ideas and vacation and/or kids photos the way I imagine an alcoholic feels about drinking: I've tried that and it made me miserable. The fact that my wife still uses social media means a truly important child photo or life event eventually makes its way to me.
