Is it normal that i hate facebook, but can't bring myself to close my account?

I dislike Facebook, because it was once a simple communication tool, where it's evolved to a mass advertisement platform to the point where my feed is mostly filled with banal advertisements and memes, despite the fact that I also have friends who do really interesting things. It's time consuming how I constantly clean my page to remove the embarrassing photos/tags/likes/statuses etc yet I can't bring myself to do it, because all my friends are on there, and I would miss the information it gives on what my friends did over the weekend, which is an easy conversation starter/topic.

    Yep. That's the way it's designed. It sucks, but it's also difficult to get away from.

    Facebook is a striptease of people life's.
    I have it to but I don't have hundreds or thousands of friends. I have my closest friends only. I never put there anything that might compromise me. Pictures or personal information. Politics, religious and strong opinions I have about this or that.
    I use it mainly to share information about music, all kind of culture events around the place were I live or books I find interesting.
    With some discipline Facebook is a good thing.

    i canceled mine. it seem that people only paid attention to others they already knew which seems to defeat the purpose of it entirely. and it takes away the mystery of someone.

    I still have an account and have gone on about 5 times in the last year. It's really seclusive to nto be an active Facebook user. My own family has unintentionally excluded me from serious events at this point because they expect me to be in the loop on Facebook. I've lost out on a lot, probably, and people think there's something wrong with me, that I'm not an active user in my demographic. Like I must then have something to hide. But you know what, F**K Facebook!

    I have facebook for the same reason. I hate all those posts people put like their life is interesting or something, but I still keep it because it is basically the only way to keep in touch with your friends online.
