Do the people you know actually engage with Facebook a lot, though?

I'm still on it and log in a few times a week but I engage far less. I recently used a Chrome extension to delete my old comments and I'm surprised at how much more I posted on it (and publicly, too). Although changing the newsfeed to be mostly memes and adverts was one cause of my disengagement, I think it's also just changing use. I haven't really noticed the recent changes Facebook touted because my friend network simply seems to engage with it less. Maybe a few people still insist on posting dozens of photographs of every trip they take, but I see so much less public discussion and so on.

What happens to a social network when the 'social' bit tails off?

anecdotal, but on my daily commute i see people "engaging" with facebook (and instagram) all the time.
