I stopped using facebook around 2009 after I created a group for a highschool. Some students of my class were harassing me and insulting me on it, so I deleted the group and stopped using facebook entirely, in bitter anger.
I started using it again recently, because it's the norm. I have only 30 friends and I remove them very easily. I use it to watch events, shops in my neighborhood, signin in other apps, but nothing else.
It's weird because facebook is usually a place of exclusivity since you only interact with your "friends", meanwhile it should really be a place where you could discover things and potential users using geolocalization (hobbies, parties, neighborhood). I don't know why they are not doing it. Pokemon go and tinder already proved geolocalization is awesome.
So all in all, facebook just collects information about you, but it's useless for the users. You just share photos, post comments about people you know, but nothing else really. And in the end, you add friends with people you might have lost touch with 10 years ago, and they will peek into your life, but the fact is your life changed. Just like in real life, you constantly have to use make-believe and behave well because your personal life is shared with all your friends at the same time. I don't understand why people really use facebook at all.
Facebook is about showcasing your life. It has become very superficial.
