RE: Why Are We Still Using Facebook?
I highly recommend that people worried about this use news feed blockers on Facebook.
If you don't know what these are they're browser extensions that hide Facebook's general "news feed" so you can only write posts, send and receive instant messages, accept event invites, etc.
For most university students at least (which is what I can speak for) the latter features are pretty essential to day to day social life stuff, but by blocking the newsfeed you take away the bottomless scroll pit of addictive and exaggerated portrayals of people's lives.
That's a great recommendation! @kennyskitchen is always telling people about how he has simply un-followed every friend he has and page he's liked on FB, so that the "feed" column is always completely empty... but a browser extension seems like a much easier option for most folks.
