So I’ve deactivated my Facebook account.
It was momentarily fun in the beginning, but now it’s just another time-consuming site of endless challenges, stupid cyber back-pats and invitations to unimportant tests (no offence to those who sent those, cause I found them funny at the beginning too). I just figured that I would try such stuff elsewhere if I really wanted to.
I don’t blame Facebook for trying to keep people interested, but for me it has worked just the opposite. I liked the initial idea of keeping in touch with people I don’t see often though. That part is cool. Unfortunately it is overshadowed by the flashy, colourful stuff that fills 99% of all Facebook accounts (including my own).
To me Facebook has become a bit similar to a dating site where it may be fun to find that other people are interested in you, but even that gets boring after a while. And when stuff is boring, it’s just extra work.
So for now, I have deactivated it and don’t think I’ll be coming back.
