In my experience, a lot of people still use Facebook, but in a completely different way than, say, 5 or 10 years ago. In the past, I would check it many times a day to see what my friends were up to, or to see what events we could go together to. Now what I see is mostly reposts of memes and ragebaits. Part of the reason is probably that we got older and I moved (the latter being the main reason I still use Facebook, to keep in touch with people), but since younger people moved to other networks, that doesn't change much in my opinion.

Also, people die. I already get from time a reminder of the birthday of somebody that I know died. That's creepy as hell and it's only going to get worse.

In my opinion the only redeeming feature of Facebook at the moment are private groups, but that in my opinion is not enough to sustain a social network, since many are moving to WhatsApp, Telegram and the like.

>Also, people die

I deleted Facebook last year. At that point, I had 420 friends, 10 of whom were dead. One of them I discovered was dead while going through the list of all my friends making notes of who they were. This was despite numerous posts on her wall about her death. The damned algorithm didn't bother to show me that bit of news.
