I don't think anybody expects this surge of anti-Facebook articles to continue indefinitely. Personally I'm just hoping that all of this makes people dislike the company just enough to shatter the illusion of usefulness. Plenty of people will still heavily use Facebook, but if we can pull even 5% of the technologically-aware, that's a smidgen of influence that Facebook no longer has and a chunk of people who no longer serve as lures for others to join. It's not going to happen quickly, but if this awareness gains momentum a much more healthy (federated, preferably open source) social media site could have a higher chance of survival. I think that's worth something.
