I'm glad I quit using Facebook. I don't have to deal with this crap anymore.

Single digit in my experience usually means 9.99%. If the number was smaller they would have said 1% or 5%.

So to sum up the number is more like 100 million people opted out.

Most of the people that I know have abandoned Facebook as it has become less of a resource that has any use to them and more of a repository for the endless prattling of non-entities about their meaningless lives.

Others have begun to "game" the site. These folks post regularly about places, music, hobbies, jobs, communities and people that they have zero personal interest in........just to mislead the data aggregation programs. Some of the customisation which results is simply hysterical.

The hype would have us all believe that "social" is the wave of the future. Judging by the actions of people that I know, the wave seems to have crested already and is now collapsing into the froth. For people who make things happen social is so passé.

I've discovered that setting my location as Pyongyang, North Korea has stopped all sponsored ads on my News Feed and other portions of FB. Seems no American company markets to, or buys from North korea. tied of all the ads, come to the Peoples Democratic Republic of Korea (figuratively), and avoid tha hassles (unless you Like all the ads). I hope somebody searches for L'il Kim Jong to see if he has a FB page.
