It's not too much work, it's too costly. Boycotts themselves are almost never successful or effective at all. The only way for any boycott to fully work is if a critical mass of people join the boycott, and that critical mass is almost never reached. For individuals to boycott without the critical mass accomplishes nothing.

For those people where leaving FB is just individually positive, absolutely they should do it. For those doing, e.g. political organizing where most of their audience is on FB, they are stuck in a terrible conundrum.

Personally, I think FB should be used where effective to reach people on FB, and everyone should try to make at least 70% of their posts be specifically discussions of what's wrong with Facebook. As much as possible, every comment and discussion should include a side reference criticizing the platform. If enough people get the problem, maybe some day we'll have critical mass for a boycott that might work.
