The people you know may not be representative. I agree that it seems that less people use FB to share stuff about their life or follow friends and family. But many people also shifted their main usage of FB, so it's not that they are not using it all, just use it differently. That's at least my impression based on the little data I have. I'm talking about things like FB groups, market place and others that are pretty popular.
- themodelplumber 7y agoAgreed, groups are a huge deal. Once I figured out groups my FB use changed dramatically. Now I'm on there all the time, my family and friends don't see what I'm doing unless I for some reason joined a public group, and miracle of miracles, you can even find file downloads in these groups and the search functionality works pretty well. Facebook was in my no-thanks bucket for a long time, but that has really changed and it didn't involve any significant privacy compromises beyond the usual ad-sales stuff. By the way, there are a LOT of people using assumed names in these groups. Some of them get reported and return to unleash their annoyance on the rest of the group for "whoever did that". It's a really awkward aspect of the experience IMO.
