I think they may have finally found their path to irrelevance. I used to go to Facebook (the website) everyday, multiple times a day. They changed it for worse with every update, so I dropped the site and started using the app, but even the app kept changing for the worse and it's now a total mess. Then this morning I realized that it's been a week since I last used Facebook, and I'm pretty sure that in a couple months I'll be ready to drop it completely.
I'm in the same place -- I think the company takes itself too seriously.
It's not fun to use anymore -- I'm always getting these stern warnings about new privacy policies, and they are always screwing around with the timeline.
For example, now the Facebook gods have decreed that I will view the vapid posts of acquaintances who insist on posting "look how happy my family is" pictures, and buries posts from people whom I actually interact with on Facebook.
I think the media takes them too seriously as well. it's just a company that facilitates the sharing of LOLCat photos. Yes, its big data hard technically at that scale, but at the core, it's not a Google.
