Never had any desire to join Facebook or Myspace. None at all! If Facebook were to shut down today, it wouldn't bother me none.

I was pretty much required to use Facebook for our sporting organization who have become so dependent on it that they could not function at all without it. I lasted three weeks; people's intelligence seems to plummet, language is almost unintelligible and the things people post on public forums is just plain scary. And this was supposed to be a professional organization... After that, deleted my account and will never venture near Facebook again.

That advertising is broken too. I was looking to buy a computer desk. I started getting hundreds of ads a day for everything from dishwashers to makeup and even men's hygiene products

I quit Facebook in early 2017. My life has improved immeasurably. One of the best decisions I ever made.

How best to use Facebook?

Never.

Well there was that time my ex left her page open on my laptop while she was flirting with a coworker at home.

Seems like the poll miss out on some things:
* What privacy settings are used?
* "Changes", have they been to increase or decrease privacy?
* If no change, why? I've used near maximum privacy from the start and won't change it to decrease privacy.
