95% of my FB friends are people I know in real life. The rest are friends of friends who share common interests with me, and the only reason I haven't met them yet is geographical inconvenience.
If you have a problem with fake relationships on FB, the problem is with you, not with FB.

 OK.

Now, I have to admit that I'm a frequent user of Facebook so I don't fall into the active dislike camp, but one thing that really gets on my chest-ends is the ever changing security and privacy on FB. Is this private? Yep, but how about tomorrow? How about next week? Oh look, they changed their security policy and my previously private posts are now public.

Been there. It is not really intuitive but it is not that difficult as well. Hell, way better than doing anything in SAP for God's sake.

If you're technically capable, it's not that difficult - providing you can find which particular update security setting you're meant to be changing, but how about those who just know how to log into FB? This never ending series of twiddles and flubs make it very confusing for the neophyte.

Totally agree to that. That is the reason why these stupid apps, hoax and other shite prevail. But that is common with internet. It is just that FB is insane user base and hence liable for scrutiny.

Of course wit and humor is the way to go but there has to be a substantial reason.

Why?
Apparently an interview is passed or failed in the first 12 seconds: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sMmfJWITrR0[^] so why would we need a substantial reason to dislike a website or service?

I use it to stay in touch with friends and family but I post very little as I have no desire to live my life on line. Except, of course, for CP.

I am not questioning amount of usage. I am questioning why people crib about it. A reason please. A valid one.

Because people live out their entire lives online. Dumb. I pretty much said that - guess you missed it.

I wasn't blaming it for anything. You can't blame an application for the way that people choose to use it.

I don't think people who aren't on Facebook actually hate it, they just don't think it's for them.

That is not the attitude I smell. Now, my sense of smell sucks and I am well aware of that. I have seen posts just ridiculing mere existence of it. Yet, no post actually explaining why. Same case here in this thread.
