The only reason I still use Facebook is to reach my audience. Otherwise, I wouldn't be on there.
Of course, it's a great advertising medium to reach millions. Another reason why I'm still there.
Other than that, I don't post much.
This pretty much sums up why -- it's one big carefully curated facade.
I fear for young folks who use Facebook / Instagram / et. al. as a gauge to compare their lives to others. Expectation and comparison is path to perpetual misery. If I spend one hour on Facebook, even I would end up feeling inadequate, not fit enough, not well-traveled enough, not successful enough, and not liked enough, blah blah.
Whats sad is that I am actually hearing that youngsters are making decisions based upon how certain activities will look when posted to social media. They're more concerned with having people *think* they're having fun than actually having it.
Be aware people.
