Ethical reasons: I could not see myself participating, supporting, or fueling an immoral business model. I could not contribute to lies and data selling that lead to terrorism, genocide, addiction, depression, wars, etc.
Practical reasons: if you are a working professional, you no longer need those mediums. Now everything is remote and with any app video conferencing or mainly texting is enough for virtual socialization.
As a millennial who grew up with it and later understood the implications of my actions, I deleted everything that had to do with social media. A clear conscience is more important to me than fickle dopamine hits.
