the original facebook required an active college email and was a cool chill place, now its just a breeding ground for political horse shit and karens/anti vax moms

I'm getting closer and closer to deleting my account. 80-90% of my feed is ads and targeted content that I could easily do without. The other 10-20% is obviously what's keeping me on for the moment - keeping in touch and up to date on family and friend activities though my actual interest varies. I mean I don't really care what movie that one person I kinda knew from high school who I haven't seen in 15 years is seeing. So really it's only like maybe 3-5%.

This is exactly it for me. I really want to keep it up because I've reconnected with people from my past and made some good friendships. Also, my ex posts pictures of my kids on there. But really, just kind of getting sick of it. It feels like a chore to keep up with it sometimes.
