Are people over Facebook?
Lately I have been noticing that people are deleting their Facebook accounts. Recently a friend of mine mentioned to me that he was going to delete his account, and when I asked him why he said that it was because he was bored of listening to people complain. We have a majority of the same friends and I agree that some of the people on Facebook use it as an outlet to complain and get all their feelings on a certain subject out, but I hadn't noticed it as much as he does. Regardless, he is not the first friend of mine to give up his Facebook. Some delete it and then go back but others delete their accounts and then go right back to them after a week. So i realized that this could not be happening just in my circle of friends, that it must be happening in other social groups as well. So the question I pose is are people bored with Facebook and being constantly connected to the lives of their friends? Are people tired of the endless statuses, and poke wars? I think the answer is yes. After awhile it gets boring listening to your friends complain about their parents, or their girlfriend/boyfriend or work or school..... or all of them at once in some cases. Facebook no doubt has a ton of good aspects such as connecting to old friends and relatives and seeing all sorts of pictures and videos. However if your news feed is consumed with people complaining about their life, it gets tedious and boring. I am not going to delete my account just yet but I can definitely see why people can get fed up with Facebook.

I do not plan on deleting mine anytime soon but I do see where people are coming from and agree with you on a lot of the aspects you brought up. Good post!
