Re: Why do we keep using Facebook?
#2I haven’t used FB for years, I don’t even have an account, and don’t miss it at all.
When I want to connect with my friends I use WhatsApp, for brainless time passing I use Reddit and I use HN for stimulation and discussion.

#3The blog poster seems to be missing the critical point - maybe he's never smoked. It's an addiction.
To your phone, to social response, to 'new'. The way way to give up is to treat it like an addiction.

#4At the heart of it? The need to connect with others.
(Not saying that Facebook satisfies this need, but it is a need.)

#5I don't know about others, but I use it primarily to keep up to date on bands I like, and because it's a convenient way to manage an event and invite people.

>keep up to date on bands I like
Specifically for this use case I like Songkick [0]. Lets me know when anyone I'm following is touring near me. Lets you import artists from Spotify too.

#7What I have found that everyone uses facebook to post stuff about themselves and voice their "important" opinions on stuff.
Nobody uses it to "connect". Or for sure maybe sometimes but surely it's not the only way that people can connect in these days. I can connect with people in a myriad of ways, as always, even before facebook. I have seen absolutely no change in how "connected" I am after facebook has taken over.
Anyhow if it so important for "connecting" then how come I, without facebook, still am very much connected with my friends and family.

#9I removed my account a few months back (you have to request that, you can't delete it on your own, which I think sucks). I did it because I feel that they betrayed our democracy for profit and I do not want to support an organization like that. And that was the feedback I gave them. I do not miss it one bit.

During my last days, I spent my time on Facebook for the memes. But I still deleted it anyways
