While there are so many reasons it blows-here are 5

5) status-I think we can all agree these can be tilting af. I get it, you went to greece, love your tesla, have cute kids and own a baby turtle. Idgaf about any of it

4) you don't have 297 friends; you have like 3 tops

3) privacy, there was just another data leak of half a billion users. That's full names, addresses, emails, phone numbers and probably penis size

2) lolmark, do we really want nerds like this running the planet? Ask yourself that

1) hey remember me? We were in art class together in 1996. Yes I remember you, and there's a reason we didn't keep in touch

My wife still uses facebook, and I'm not sure our marriage can survive it. Just needed to get this off my chest. Carry on with your day fine people

humans gonna human. more at 11

I have been hoping they would finally leak my penis size.

People still use Facebook?

I've been using it for organizing ever since Parler got shut down.

Several years ago I recall reading a Vanity Fair article about Mark Zuckerberg and the beginnings of what would become Facebook while Zuckerberg was attending Harvard. I'm recalling this from memory so my facts may not be 100 percent correct or 100 percent accurate, but a dispute/disagreement arose between Zuckerberg and two "Winklevoss" (sp?) brothers who were also attending Harvard. The brothers felt that Zuckerberg had either stolen their idea for what evolved into Facebook or failed to properly compensate them for their contributions and work in developing the software. (I can't recall the exact nature of the dispute, but the two [twin] brothers were so upset over Zuckerberg's antics that they took their complaints to Larry Summers who was the then President of Harvard.) The two brothers felt so strongly that they were being shortchanged by Mark Zuckerberg that they filed a lawsuit [against Zuckerberg] for substantial damages.

Zuckerberg settled with the two brothers before the case went to trial, but an interesting tidbit came out during discovery. In a sworn deposition the Winklevoss brothers produced an email allegedly written and sent by Zuckerberg to a Harvard classmate. In the email Mr. Zuckerberg allegedly offers his classmate any information he might want about his fellow Harvard classmates and concludes with the following comment: "I can't believe these people are willing to give me their information. Dumb f**ks!"

I've never signed up for (or opened an account) on any social media site - including Facebook. After reading the Vanity Fair article, I cemented my resolve to never become one of the "dumb fu*ks" Mr. Zuckerberg [allegedly] mocks and ridicules.

I had an account for about two weeks before a stalker ex found me and kept messaging me. Deleted my account and never looked back. That was about 14 years ago now.

I don’t know if you’re joking or not about your marriage but I recall reading an article that around a quarter of all divorces are Facebook related now. Mostly from ex’s contacting each other which ultimately leads to infidelity.

More like gampy and gammy book.

Wow, someone should make this into a movie

+1,000,000!!

Huge usage still among olds and people in developing countries

My marriage is pretty solid, but I needle her abt having an account

No matter how solid your marriage is, it's not as solid as Dr. Meh's. Ignore his marital advice at your relationship's peril.

If she cheats then I get a hall pass-silver lining

Probably true. Speaking of obsessed stalkers....

Neat.

I was wondering why I was getting so many friend requests lately.

I guess my almost never using FB and only having 10 friends has finally paid off!

Facebook's marketplace is pretty good, it's probably better than Craigslist in that regard for certain stuff. There's also groups for niche hobbies that has some decent information, although trying to search Facebook is such a cluster****.

I found my current job through a link on Facebook so it does have some good points. You need to be very selective with how you use it though. Looking at your ex's page generally ends badly even if you don't contact him/her. The idealised portrayal of the new relationship is unlikely to be accurate!

I'm in it for the memes.

Messaged a girl I graduated with in 2008, haven't spoken since, now planning on moving in together. Ymmv

Deleted facebook about a year ago don't really miss it at all. The only thing it was useful for was creeping on people's pics, and well that's creepy and you shouldn't do it anyway.

I did get annoyed I couldn't/didn't get to back up pics I was tagged in but didn't take/upload myself though.

yea i use it for marketplace basically only now, its quite useful

Online social networks certainly have their pros and cons.

I find that the "vehemently anti-facebook/instagram/whatever" attitude is infinitely more annoying than the technological illiterates actively ruining those platforms.
