More Than 11 Million Young People Have Fled Facebook Since 2011
According to one analyst estimate
Skeptics of Facebook’s business model have long pointed to anecdotal evidence that the social network is losing its luster with teens as evidence that the firm will ultimately be unable to justify its $140 billion valuation. Indeed, even Facebook itself admitted last fall that it had lost younger users. “”We did see a decrease in [teenage] daily users [during the quarter], especially younger teens,” Facebook chief financial officer David Ebersman said during a call with analysts.
But it’s always been difficult to gauge exactly what the magnitude of this lost interest has been. On Wednesday, the digital consultancy iStrategy Labs released a study that draws from Facebook’s Social Advertising platform to glean exactly how many young users have left the social network in recent years. The resulting estimates are pretty staggering. According to iStrategy, Facebook has 4,292,080 fewer high-school aged users and 6,948,848 college-aged users than it did in 2011.

Everyone is on Facebook. Some people post way too much, others are braggers and self promoters. And now there are more ads. It was fun at first but now there is too much to wade through.
Please do not post every school that your kid gets into, and worse, the amount of scholarship (possible it was really financial aid).
I see they let Dom post from the sanitarium again. When will they take his computer away and change his diaper.
