I was part of the locked-to-your-university cohort. I disliked it right from the start - I am not a naturally social person and I found college to be inundated with socialization, facebook was yet another thing to make me feel weird, and I thought it was creepy because I was in all these pictures I didn't post, out there for anyone to see - but yeah lots of my friends loved it. But I did know other weird people who didn't. Just for round numbers, let's say 1% of us actively disliked it and 99% loved it. What I think has happened as I've watched it since then is that that love/hate ratio has stayed relatively stable, but it has grown so much that there are a lot of people on the hate side now, in absolute terms, so it's more noticeable. But I don't think the fundamental calculation is all that different.
