This was the main argument against social networking back in the day. "If I want to talk to someone, I'll pick up the phone and have a quality conversation." People are abandoning Facebook for a number of poor product and business decisions on Facebook's part, but we did learn that there's a difference between the opt-in and opt-out communication channels.

That’s exactly why I left social media about 5 years ago. I realized I wasn’t actually friends with anyone who popped up on my timeline; they were all just people I used to know posting imaginary versions of their lives. Facebook deludes you into thinking you have friends when what you really have is a void to shout your feelings into and hope someone listens.
